Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP15593)
Santos Callejas Martinez, 38 years old, was last seen on June 13, 2012, in Falfurrias, Texas. Santos had informed his family on June 8, 2012, that he planned to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. He was traveling with a group of people at the time of his disappearance, but he was left behind after experiencing severe health issues during the journey.

According to those with him, Santos was last seen approximately three miles east of Freeway 2191 and two to three miles south of Freeway 285. He had fainted and was struggling to breathe. By the time the group moved on, Santos had become unconscious, with his eyes closed, and had removed most of his clothing due to the extreme heat. The exact circumstances of his disappearance remain unknown, and despite efforts to locate him, his whereabouts have not been discovered.

The case highlights the dangerous conditions many migrants face when crossing treacherous terrain in extreme heat. Authorities and organizations continue to seek any information that could provide answers regarding Santos' disappearance.
