Walter Romero Melgar was 22 when he went missing on September 4, 2014, near Eagle Pass, Texas. He was last heard from around 8 p.m. while attempting to cross the Rio Grande from Piedras Negras, Mexico, into the United States. That evening he contacted someone to confirm his plans to cross the river, but it is unclear whether he made it across.

No one has heard from Walter since that night and his whereabouts remain unknown. His name appears in national missing person databases, and the disappearance is linked to the hazardous conditions migrants face during border crossings. Authorities continue to seek information that might explain what happened.

If anyone has information about Walter Romero Melgar or recalls seeing him around September 4, 2014, please come forward.
