Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP80092) and 2 other sources
Gustavo Funes Flores, a 29-year-old male, was last seen on February 27, 2021, in McAllen, Texas. His disappearance occurred while he was part of a group of migrants traveling through Brooks County, Texas. The group was trekking from McAllen to Falfurrias when Gustavo was unable to keep up with the others. The guide left him behind, presumably thinking he would be picked up by Border Patrol. He was last seen with two other individuals, but none of them have been heard from since.

Despite searches and efforts to uncover what happened, his whereabouts remain unknown. His case is part of a broader issue concerning migrant safety, especially in remote areas where many are left vulnerable. Authorities continue to seek information and encourage anyone with details to come forward. His case is still open and remains a priority for local law enforcement and organizations dedicated to missing persons.
