Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP91717) and 3 other sources
Juan Ramon Hernandez, a 28-year-old male, has been missing since July 12, 2019. He was last seen in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, at around 9:00 a.m., when he left his father's house to drive to his brother’s home in Odessa, Texas. Hernandez crossed the U.S.-Mexico border at Hidalgo, Texas, driving a white GMC Denali. However, he never arrived at his intended destination in Odessa, and there has been no communication from him since that day. His family has been left in the dark regarding his whereabouts, as very few details have emerged in the investigation. The case remains under investigation by the Odessa Police Department.

At the time of his disappearance, Hernandez was wearing brown shorts and red shoes. He is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5'6" and weighing approximately 220 pounds. Despite efforts to locate him, there has been no significant progress in the case, and authorities have not publicly identified any leads or suspects. Given the cross-border nature of the situation and the region’s proximity to areas known for high crime, concerns remain for Hernandez's safety. His disappearance is still listed as a missing person case, with appeals for public assistance continuing.

Hernandez’s family and investigators remain hopeful that new information will surface, bringing some clarity to his sudden disappearance. Authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the Odessa Police Department.
