Ernesto El Gallito Gonzales was a 63-year-old Harlingen, Texas attorney and philanthropist who vanished after arranging to meet his sister at his workplace on July 18, 2017. When he failed to arrive, his sister reported a welfare concern. Gonzales had earlier filed a protective order against several family members, saying he feared for his life; his family quickly suspected foul play and his twin brother Rick Gonzales publicly said Ernesto was deceased, not missing.

On July 23, 2020, police executing a search warrant on a two-acre private property in La Feria, Texas, found human remains that were later identified by dental records as Gonzales. The property belonged to his nephew, Salomon Campos Jr., who was charged with aggravated kidnapping, murder, and stalking and held on bonds including a $1 million bond for the murder charge. Investigators had not determined the exact method of death, and the case experienced trial delays.

Does anyone have information about Gonzales, his movements on July 18, 2017, or the La Feria property that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
