Baltazar Atondo Vega, 42, was last seen June 1, 2012, near Nogales, Arizona after crossing the border from Mexico into the United States. He is Hispanic/Latino, about five feet tall and 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinctive scars include a gunshot scar on the left side of his back and knife-wound scars on both forearms.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office report states he crossed the border and has not been heard from since. The desert terrain and hazards of border crossings are noted in his file, but the circumstances after his last known whereabouts remain unclear and the case remains open.

If anyone saw Baltazar around Nogales in early June 2012 or has information about his crossing or later whereabouts, please come forward.
