Jose Manuel Cortez Garcia, 27, was last seen July 11, 2010, in Lukeville, a small community on the U.S.-Mexico border in Pima County, Arizona. He was reported as crossing the border from Mexico into the United States and has not been heard from since. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office received the official report on July 27, 2010, and the case is cataloged as NamUs MP16585.

Jose is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 3 inches, 110 to 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He had two tattoos: Christ on the right side of his back and hands holding a rosary on his chest. At the time he disappeared he was reportedly wearing a yellow and white plaid shirt, a white t-shirt with blue stripes, another white T-shirt, beige pants, black socks, boxers, Nike tennis shoes, and carrying a backpack.

The last known location is recorded only as crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, which leaves many details unresolved and complicates search efforts in that remote region. Does anyone have information about Jose’s movements in July 2010 or recall seeing him in the Lukeville area?
