Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP73890) and 3 other sources
Joseph Rosa, a 17-year-old male, was last seen on June 6, 2020, while traveling with his father, Thomas Rosa, from Orlando, Florida, to Reynosa, Mexico. They were passing through McAllen, Texas, in a red GMC truck when both disappeared. The family's concern grew when Thomas’ phone was found by a stranger in Mexico, but neither Joseph nor Thomas has been located since. The authorities have been involved in the investigation, but the case remains unresolved, leaving the family to spearhead search efforts with limited resources.

Joseph is described as 5'9" to 5'11" tall, weighing 170-180 lbs, with black hair and of Hispanic descent. Despite efforts from both law enforcement and family, the case has yielded few leads. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has also listed Joseph, emphasizing the urgency of finding him.

The family continues to seek help, organizing fundraisers and reaching out to the public for any information that could assist in locating Joseph and his father.
