Axel Domingo Talavera Muñoz, a 25-year-old Nicaraguan, disappeared on July 29, 2018, near Falfurrias, Texas, after attempting to cross into the United States. He spoke with family shortly before vanishing, saying he was trying to navigate around the Falfurrias Border Patrol checkpoint. Other people in his group were detained and later told U.S. Border Patrol that Axel had fallen ill and was left behind by the coyote leading them.

Axel left behind two children. His family has continued searching for answers and reports being targeted by scammers who claimed to have seen him but provided no credible information. His fate remains unknown, and his case is one of many involving migrants who go missing while crossing hazardous terrain in South Texas, where dehydration and heat exhaustion are common causes of death.

Did anyone in the area around Falfurrias on July 29, 2018, see or hear anything that could help locate Axel?
