Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP20503)
Rogelio Martinez Bolanos, a 20-year-old male, was last seen on February 1, 2013, in Havana, Texas. According to reports, Rogelio was attempting to cross the Rio Grande River from Reynosa, Mexico, into the United States. The person he was traveling with later informed authorities that Rogelio was last seen drowning in the river. Another body, identified as an El Salvador national, was recovered on February 28, 2013, along with another unidentified individual, though Rogelio's remains have not been confirmed.

Efforts have been made to identify the second body through DNA comparisons as part of the Border Project. Rogelio's family is working with authorities to provide DNA samples to help identify if the remains found belong to him. His case remains open, with authorities and his family continuing to search for answers and closure.
