Porfirio Gabriel Lugardo-Montufar was 30 when he vanished after a July 17, 2004 phone call to his brother Martin. He told Martin he had crossed the border and was in the foothills near Yuma, Arizona, and said he was with someone who had agreed to drive him to Mesa, Arizona for $250. The call came from a 520-area-code cell phone Martin believed belonged to the person offering the ride. Porfirio asked for money for food and Martin wired $100 via Western Union that same day; the funds were never picked up.

A week later Martin found the number disconnected and the family never heard from Porfirio again. He was described as a Hispanic male, brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 1 inch, about 135 pounds, with two two-inch scars on the back of his head from a prior fall. The Phoenix Police Department report was filed on October 24, 2015, and the disappearance remains unresolved.

Did anyone in the Yuma or Mesa areas remember seeing a small Hispanic man matching Porfirio’s description around mid-July 2004 or recall a ride arranged from the foothills toward Mesa?
