Alejandro Aguilar Penaloza was 32 when he was last seen near the U.S.-Mexico border in the Douglas, Arizona area on August 28, 2011. He was described as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 4 inches tall, roughly 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His last known activity was an attempt to cross the border; after that his whereabouts are unknown.

Family and investigators have highlighted several identifying marks: a scar on the right ring finger just above the nail, a scar in the middle of the forehead, and a black mole on the right rib cage. Reported tattoos include a cross on the right chest or pectoral, a flower on the left foot, and the words SUR 7 on the right wrist, which may have been removed before he went missing. He may also have had a Wells Fargo bank card when last seen. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office opened an investigation on September 12, 2011.

If anyone saw Alejandro around Douglas in late August 2011, or has information about his movements or the reported tattoos and scars, please come forward.
