Jose Joan Palafox Corrales was 21 when he was last seen on June 27, 2013, reportedly while crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona. He is described as a Hispanic male, five feet, seven inches tall, about 150 pounds, with short black hair, a mustache, chest hair, and black eyes. A distinguishing mark is a mole on his left leg roughly the size of a 25-cent coin.

His last known moment is being in the process of crossing into Arizona; little else is recorded about his movements that day. The disappearance was not reported to police until October 27, 2018, and the Phoenix Police Department is handling the case. Family and friends have had no contact with him since June 27, 2013, leaving many unanswered questions about what happened after he entered the Sonoran desert.

If anyone saw Jose around June 27, 2013, or has information about his crossing into Arizona, please share what is known.
