Begonia Tapia Martinez, 20, was last seen June 27, 2010, crossing the border from Cananea, Sonora into Arizona while traveling toward New York. She is described as a Hispanic female, brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 0 inches to 5 feet 2 inches tall and 111 to 131 pounds. She carried a black backpack and was wearing layers: a gray blouse that appeared inside-out, a light gray hooded sweater, a black long-sleeve sweater, light blue denim pants and brown tennis shoes with velcro closures.

Identifying marks include a roughly 3-centimeter scar on her wrist, a one-inch cut scar on her pinky finger and a cross-shaped surgical scar on one knee. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is noted in records relating to migrants found in southern Arizona, and the desert route she took is known for extreme conditions.

Begonia’s family awaited word of her safe arrival in New York that never came. If anyone saw her on or after June 27, 2010, or knows anything about her route or companions, please come forward with information.
