Romelia Ingrid Lopez Cabrera was 19 when she was last heard from on May 8, 2012, in Altar, Sonora, a town just south of the Arizona border. She told family she planned to cross into the United States within a few days and was reportedly traveling with a small group, but her whereabouts after that final call are unknown.

At disappearance she was described as between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall, 120 to 130 pounds, with black shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and a mole above her lip. Pants size was 32 and shoe size 6; the clothing she wore and any belongings are not known. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is handling the investigation, indicating the search focus is in Arizona despite her last seen location being in Mexico.

No confirmed sightings or new information have been reported since 2012. If anyone knew Romelia, traveled through Altar around May 2012, or has information about border crossings from that time, please come forward.
