Francisco Antonio Lopez, known as Tono, was 49 when he was last seen after crossing the border at Sasabe, Arizona, on December 17, 2011. Reports indicate he was left alone at a location described as about five hours from Phoenix and never reached his destination. He carried a black backpack with his driver’s license and a small wedding photograph.

Francisco is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about 190 to 210 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a scar on his right arm from a dog bite, and a mole on his right eyebrow. The clothing reported that day included a green shirt, a blue shirt, green dress pants, blue jeans, a dark blue jacket, black shoes, and a silver watch. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office investigated; no significant leads have been reported and the case went cold.

If anyone saw Francisco around Sasabe or the route toward Phoenix on or after December 17, 2011, please share what is known.
