Jose Erasmo Hernandez-Chij, a 32-year-old man from Guatemala, disappeared in late July 2015 while attempting to cross into the United States. He was last heard from on July 30, 2015, while traveling through the Tohono O'odham Nation Reservation in Pima County, Arizona, reportedly about a two-day walk from Tucson. Traveling with a human smuggler, he told the guide he could walk no further and planned to find a road to turn himself over to immigration authorities; he was never heard from again.

Hernandez-Chij is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and black eyes, standing between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 11 inches and weighing about 185 to 195 pounds. Distinctive marks include a red birthmark on his right cheek, a brown or red mark near his right eye, and a birthmark on the right side of his chest under his rib area. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, blue canvas pants, sneakers and a blue and white rubber bracelet.

The case is classified as a migrant disappearance; the terrain where he was last seen is vast and rugged, and there have been no confirmed sightings or contact since July 2015. Anyone who knew Jose’s whereabouts or has information about his disappearance is asked to come forward.
