Jose Blandon was 25 when he went missing near Falfurrias, Texas, on August 19, 2015. He was part of a group traveling from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, after leaving Guatemala earlier that month and stayed in touch with family while en route. The last known contact came when he called to say he was about 40 minutes away from a scheduled pick-up, but he never arrived and has not been seen or heard from since.

His disappearance occurred in an area notorious for harsh terrain and extreme weather that pose serious risks to migrants. Blandon is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), but authorities have reported no significant progress in locating him and his family continues to hope for answers.

If anyone was traveling through Brooks County or the Falfurrias area in mid-August 2015 and remembers seeing Jose or the group he was with, please share what you know.
