Ricardo Lopez Lopez was 31 when he was last seen on November 28, 2016, in Sasabe, a remote community on the Arizona–Sonora border. He was with his brother Gerardo and intended to cross into the United States; that sighting is the last confirmed moment before he went missing. Ricardo is described as 6 feet tall, 198–200 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. Distinguishing marks include an anchor tattoo on his right shoulder, the letter R on his left shoulder, and acne scars on his face.

The disappearance was reported to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and his case was entered into NamUs on October 21, 2017. The circumstances point to the hazards of border crossings, but there has been no public resolution and his whereabouts remain unknown. If anyone saw Ricardo around Sasabe in late November 2016 or has information about his movements after that date, please come forward.
