Edwin Garcia Herrera, 23, disappeared after a border crossing attempt and has not been heard from since July 28, 2011, near Falfurrias, Texas. He last spoke to his wife on July 21, 2011, saying he was in Mexico and expected to reach Houston within two days. Travel companions reported Edwin fell ill in the desert, could not continue, and was left under a tree with water while they moved on. They say he was alive when they left and told them not to contact immigration authorities because he intended to try another route.

No confirmed sightings or contacts have been reported since that day. Authorities are still seeking information and the case remains open; Edwin’s fate is unknown. Does anyone who traveled through the Falfurrias area in late July 2011 or who knew Edwin have information that could help explain what happened?
