Hector Manuel Vasquez Barreras was 23 when he was last seen crossing the border near Nogales, Arizona, on August 25, 2011. He vanished from the area after being seen cross the border and his whereabouts have been unknown since.

He is described as a Hispanic male, about 5 feet 7 inches and 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing marks include a scar on his forehead, a burn scar on his lower back near the tailbone, and a mole on his right cheek near his nose. When last seen he wore a red shirt with thin stripes over a sleeveless white t-shirt, black jeans size 34, blue checkered cotton boxers, white socks and white Guess tennis shoes size 8. He carried a light brown imitation leather wallet containing prayer cards of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Virgin of Carmen and Saint Jude, and wore a black imitation leather belt with a silver buckle.

The disappearance was reported to investigators on November 30, 2011; the case was added to NamUs on July 30, 2012 (case MP16841) and remains open with the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office (agency case FSC MPR 1922). Does anyone have information about Hector’s movements around Nogales in August 2011 or recall seeing him that day?
