Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22239) and 1 other source
Jeronimo Rubio-Hernandez, a 40-year-old man, went missing on July 27, 2013, in Falfurrias, Texas. He was part of a group of around 19 individuals crossing into the United States on July 25, 2013. After walking for three days through harsh terrain, Jeronimo collapsed and was left behind by the group near a highway, reportedly close to an abandoned windmill before they could reach a checkpoint. His disappearance has since been listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), but no further information has surfaced about his whereabouts.

Authorities continue to appeal for any information that could lead to resolving Jeronimo’s case. Despite the passage of time, the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. His case highlights the dangers many face during such journeys, especially in the challenging environment around Falfurrias. Efforts to gather more details or tips are still ongoing.
