Raul Charles Aparicio, also known as Saul Aparicio, went silent after a text on April 10, 2013. The 41-year-old told his girlfriend at about 9:00 p.m. that he was crossing from Sonoyta, Mexico into the United States and expected to arrive around April 14 or 15. That message is the last known communication from him.

At the time he disappeared he was described as Hispanic or Latino, five feet seven inches tall, about 180 pounds, with short black-and-gray hair and a small amount of dark facial hair around his mouth. He had a linear scar above his right eye and a circular scar above his ear. He was believed to have a backpack and a wallet containing important phone numbers and his Mexican elector ID card; he typically wore size 36 pants, large shirts, and size 11 shoes.

The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is listed as handling the investigation; no further contact or confirmed sightings came after his April 10 message. Does anyone who was near the Lukeville or Sonoyta border in mid-April 2013 remember seeing Raul or his backpack?
