Manuel Diaz, 35, was last seen on December 13, 2008, in Brownsville, Texas. His mother reported him missing in July 2010, and his case is listed in NamUs and in the Texas Department of Public Safety’s missing persons bulletin. He is described as a white male with black hair, 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 160 pounds.

The long gap between his last sighting and the family report is noted as a complicating factor for investigators because early evidence can be harder to recover after delays.

If anyone knew Manuel, saw him around Brownsville in December 2008, or has information that could help locate him, please share what is known with the appropriate authorities.
