Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP159713)
In the small community of Sullivan City, Texas, a family's life was irrevocably changed on Halloween of 2021. On that day, 29-year-old Hugo De Anda, a Hispanic male, was seen in the early morning hours and then seemingly vanished. He was last observed walking in the border town located in Hidalgo County. At the time of his disappearance, De Anda was wearing a gray and maroon long-sleeved shirt, faded light-blue jeans, and black Converse shoes.

Details surrounding the circumstances of De Anda's disappearance remain scarce. Official sources state he was simply seen walking, but little public information is available to create a clearer picture of his last known moments. The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for this case. Information regarding any potential leads, persons of interest, or areas of search has not been widely disseminated in the public domain.

The lack of online information and media coverage has left many questions unanswered. There are no public appeals from family or friends, nor are there any news articles detailing the investigation in the days and years following his disappearance. This absence of a digital footprint makes it difficult to understand the full scope of the efforts to locate him. The case is an overview of a young man who disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a community and a family to wonder what happened in the early morning hours of that fateful Halloween.
