Edwin Colindres, 32, was last seen in Brooks County, Texas, on September 14, 2012, after leaving El Salvador on September 5, 2012, intending to enter the United States. His route took him through the area near Reynosa, Mexico. On September 21, 2012, family members were told by people who had been traveling with him that Edwin had been left behind because he could no longer continue and had been left under a tree, likely in a remote part of Brooks County.

Brooks County is known for harsh desert conditions and many migrants attempting the crossing have disappeared there. Authorities including the Texas Department of Public Safety and missing-persons databases such as NamUs list the case as active, but little progress has been reported in locating him. His family continues to seek answers and hopes for new leads.

If anyone was traveling in that area in September 2012 or has information about Edwin’s movements after September 14, please come forward.
