Agustin Gustavo Verde-Reyes was 24 when he disappeared on January 16, 2006, while traveling with a group of migrants near Tucson, Arizona. He is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes, a large scar on the right side of his ribcage, and was last seen wearing a navy sweatshirt that may have said Navy or Army, light blue denim jeans, a cloth belt, and yellow construction boots. Reports place his last known location on Highway 10 near mile marker 315, where it is believed he was left behind by the group.

No contact from Agustin has been reported since that day. The official missing person report was filed with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office on September 26, 2017, and the investigation remains open. Few concrete details exist about his final movements, and the harsh desert environment is noted as a possible cause of his disappearance.

If anyone saw Agustin near Highway 10 around January 16, 2006, or has information about the group he was traveling with, please come forward to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
