Cesar Leonardo Aguiar Vargas, 28, vanished in the spring of 2017 after last being heard from on May 8, 2017, when he was believed to be near Nogales, Arizona. He was thought to be in the process of crossing from Mexico into the United States; his communication stopped that day and his whereabouts have been unknown since.

At the time he disappeared Cesar was 6 feet tall, about 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing marks include a shark tattoo (location not specified) and a scar on the left side of his back. He was believed to be wearing a white t-shirt, brown Levi’s jeans, and white tennis shoes when last heard from. The missing person report was filed with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office on October 21, 2017.

The exact crossing location and whether he had companions remain unclear, and his family continues to seek answers about what happened during the journey. If anyone has information about Cesar’s movements in May 2017 near Nogales or saw someone matching his description, please come forward.
