Edgar Eladio Lerma, 34, was last seen on September 17, 2017, in Falfurrias, Texas. He is described as a Hispanic male, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing around 215 pounds, with black hair. His disappearance remains unresolved and his case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).

Falfurrias sits near the U.S.-Mexico border and the area’s harsh environment has posed dangers to people traveling through the region. It is not clear whether Lerma’s disappearance is connected to other missing-person cases tied to migration through Brooks County. Local authorities and organizations continue to seek information.

Anyone who knew Edgar, saw him in September 2017, or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Texas Department of Public Safety or local law enforcement.
