Elijah Hernandez was 26 when he vanished from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on January 12, 2015, while volunteering with the Ephesus One Congregation. He had been in Mexico since November 2014 and was due to fly back to Dallas for his brother’s wedding on January 14. Elijah’s wallet, passport, and cellphone were left behind, and the phone showed no activity after his disappearance. His parents, Martin and Teresa Hernandez, spent 10 days searching locally and believe they encountered limited cooperation from authorities. The U.S. State Department was notified but involvement is described as limited. The family continues to press for answers and has hired a private investigator.

If anyone was in Cabo San Lucas in January 2015 or has information about Elijah’s whereabouts, please come forward.
