Leonardo Leyva Beltran, 37, was last seen near Lukeville, Arizona, on April 10, 2011, while part of a group attempting to cross into the United States. Reports say he became severely dehydrated and exhausted; his foot was swollen and he told the group he did not want to continue. Companions say he became lost about 3 kilometers before a landmark called El Elefante and was left in an area often patrolled by the U.S. Border Patrol, reportedly in the hope he might be found.

Leonardo is described as Hispanic, about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and distinctive tattoos including the number 53 behind both ears and Beltran on the nape of his neck. He was wearing black Dickies jeans, a wool jacket with a black-and-white checkered exterior and black-and-white Nike Cortez shoes. His ultimate fate is unknown.

Did anyone in the Lukeville area or who travelled that corridor in April 2011 see a man matching Leonardo’s description or remember a stranded migrant near El Elefante?
