Jose Manuel Morales Aguilar was 18 when he was last seen in San Luis, Arizona, on September 26, 2010. He is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing between 200 and 220 pounds. At the time he was reportedly wearing blue jeans and carrying a black backpack and was last seen while crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

The case was entered into the NamUs database on July 30, 2012, and the investigating agency is listed as the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office. Beyond the last known sighting at the border, the circumstances of his disappearance are largely unreported, leaving many basic questions unanswered.

If anyone saw Jose around September 26, 2010, or has information about his movements near the San Luis border crossing, please share what is known.
