Margarito Ortega Buendia, 49, disappeared in the summer of 2015 after he was last seen on July 23, 2015, while crossing from Mexico into Nogales, Arizona. He is described as Hispanic, about five feet five inches tall, 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinctive scars were recorded on his left eyebrow, forehead, stomach, right arm, and behind his right ear.

His last verifiable location was a busy port of entry into Nogales. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office handled the investigation, but limited information about his intended destination or contacts in the United States has hindered efforts and left the case unresolved for his family.

If anyone saw Margarito at the Nogales crossing on or after July 23, 2015, or has information about his travel plans or whereabouts, please come forward.
