Jose Luis Rodriguez Manjarrez, 61, was last seen near Sasabe, Arizona, on June 21, 2012. He was with a group of friends when Border Patrol arrived and the group scattered; Jose, accompanied by a coyote, ran off and was not seen again. Reports place an Indian village and a highway near where they were last seen.
Family provided a detailed description: graying hair (more white than black), a black moustache, an age spot on the middle of his forehead and the tip of his right thumb missing above the nail bed. He wore a white tank top under a brown and green plaid long-sleeved collared shirt, blue jeans and black work boots. He carried a black backpack with a Mickey Mouse design containing two changes of clothes (including two white shirts), a Holy Bible, honey, pollen, water, a list of phone numbers, and his official identification and birth certificate.
The circumstances — scattering after Border Patrol arrived and travel with a coyote — suggest he was attempting a border crossing, but his whereabouts after he ran off remain unknown. Does anyone have information about Jose’s movements around Sasabe on June 21, 2012, or recall seeing a man matching his description?
