Edgar Valenzuela del Cid, 43, was last seen July 24, 2018, in the McAllen, Texas area after contacting family from Reynosa, Tamaulipas as he prepared to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. He had been living in Guatemala before the trip and decided to try entering the United States in 2018 following life changes that began after a 2013 incident in Guatemala. At that 2013 police stop he was found with a cellphone and a homemade weapon; no charges were filed and he was not considered a robbery suspect.

On the day he disappeared Edgar was reported to be wearing light blue canvas pants, a gray long-sleeve shirt and brown shoes, carrying a green or brown bag. Distinguishing features include a mole under his eye and a gap between his teeth. Few leads have emerged and his family has not been able to reestablish contact.

If anyone saw Edgar around Reynosa or McAllen in late July 2018 or has information about his attempt to cross, please come forward.
