Ernesto Garcia was 38 when he left Brownsville, Texas, for Matamoros, Mexico, with his brother Jesus Garcia. Both were U.S. military veterans and routinely crossed to Matamoros to visit family. They traveled there on January 31, 2015, and later decided to return to the United States.

The brothers were last seen leaving Matamoros at about 2 AM on February 2, 2015, a time described as highly unusual for them to be driving. Neither Ernesto nor Jesus has been seen since that night. Extensive searches have been conducted but their whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone was in or around Matamoros or the Brownsville crossing on the night of February 1–2, 2015, or has information about their travels, please share what you know.
