Agusta Gutierrez Rosales, a 39-year-old Hispanic woman, was last seen on August 25, 2012, near Topawa in Pima County, Arizona. She had been traveling with her husband and a group of about 12 others, reportedly attempting to cross the border. Agusta and her husband separated from the main group and continued walking along State Route 86 between Sells and Topawa for approximately six more days.

Exhausted and dehydrated, the husband left Agusta temporarily to seek help in a nearby town. When he returned to the spot where he had left her, she was gone. Agusta is described as 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall, 100 to 300 pounds, with brown wavy shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and a red birthmark on the side of the iris in her right eye. She had prominent varicose veins on her legs and feet, a birthmark between her breasts, pierced ears, and was last seen in blue jeans carrying a black backpack; she had a black plastic rosary with a white metal crucifix among her belongings.

The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is listed as the investigating agency. Her fate remains unknown. If anyone has information about Agusta’s disappearance or saw her along State Route 86 in late August 2012, please come forward.
