Melvin Mauricio Martinez Zelada, 41, was last seen near Sells, Arizona, on July 24, 2012. He is described as Hispanic or Latino, about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall and 260 to 280 pounds, with green eyes, a large zig-zag scar on the back of his head from a motorcycle accident, and a burn scar on his stomach. On the day he vanished he reportedly wore dark blue jeans, a white undershirt, a red, white, and black button-up shirt, a black cap, and black tennis shoes.

Reports say he was crossing the U.S.-Mexico border with a group and had already been traveling for three days when he became nauseous and complained of head pain. His condition worsened until he was unable to continue, and the group left him behind. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office holds the file and the case remains open. Few other details are available.

Did anyone in the Sells area or who travelled the border routes in July 2012 see or hear about Melvin?
