Hector Lemus Perez, 43, was last seen on January 8, 2017, in the McAllen, Texas area. He was reportedly traveling with a group and, according to the smuggler leading them, became unable to continue walking and was left behind near thick rail tracks. Family members were told this by the smuggler, but there has been no further verified information about his whereabouts since.

Hector’s case is listed in national missing persons databases, including NamUs. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Texas Department of Public Safety or the appropriate law enforcement agency.

If anyone was in the McAllen area around January 8, 2017, or has information about people left near rail lines then, please come forward. Who can help locate Hector or provide details about that journey?
