Nelson Esau Godinez Valladares was 26 when he was last seen on June 7, 2018, somewhere in Arizona. He stood about 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches and weighed roughly 200 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and distinctive tattoos—names Crystel and Belsy—near his shoulders on his back. He reportedly had his Guatemalan DPI identification with him and was believed to be wearing size 36 blue jeans and damaged wine-colored tennis shoes, size 40.

Nelson’s case was entered into NamUs on November 16, 2018. Agencies listed with involvement include the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office in Edinburg, Texas; the Consulado de Guatemala in McAllen, Texas; and the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner. Few details about his last known movements or the circumstances of his disappearance have been released, leaving major gaps in the timeline.

If anyone knew Nelson, saw him in Arizona around June 7, 2018, or has relevant information, please come forward.
