Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP93158)
Juan Antonio Dieguez Godinez, a 31-year-old man originally from Guatemala, went missing on May 29, 2022, near Falfurrias, Texas, while attempting to migrate to the United States. His goal was to reach Colorado, where a friend had promised to help him find work. On that day, he last communicated with his brother via WhatsApp, informing him that he and others were preparing to walk towards a location known as "El Levantón" to be picked up later. This was the final time anyone heard from him.

Dieguez Godinez had contracted the services of a human smuggler to assist with his journey. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as having a medium build, dark brown hair, and several tattoos, including a compass on his right arm and a phrase, "Calima Dieguez," on his back. Despite his family's efforts to contact authorities, including the Guatemalan consulate in McAllen, no significant updates on his whereabouts have been found.

His case remains unresolved, with both his family and authorities urging anyone with information to come forward.
