Ricardo Enrique Lara was 21 when he was last seen on June 9, 2014, near McAllen, Texas while attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Reports say he became very weak during the journey and was unable to speak; he was left behind somewhere near McAllen and has not been heard from since. He is described as Hispanic, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, 185 pounds, with brown hair.

His disappearance is listed with NamUs and appears in Texas Department of Public Safety missing persons bulletins. Authorities continue to seek information that could locate him or clarify what happened during that crossing. Very little is publicly known about the circumstances after he was left behind.

Did anyone in the McAllen area or along crossing routes in June 2014 see Ricardo or have information about his journey?
