Fernando Chavez Perez was 33 when he was last heard from on June 25, 2010, in Vamori, Arizona. He is described as a Hispanic male, about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, 144 to 164 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes and acne scars on his face. At disappearance he reportedly wore a light gray short-sleeve T-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, a black and dark gray jacket without a hood, white socks, black lace-up tennis shoes, and a camouflage hat; he was carrying a black backpack and a black wallet.

Fernando was traveling with neighbors attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border near Sells, Arizona. His route likely ran from Altar, Sonora, toward Lukeville and then Sells. Family last spoke to him June 25; companions reportedly left him in the desert near a ranch called La Sierrita in the Vamori area on June 30. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office opened a case for him on August 6, 2010. No confirmed contact with Fernando has been reported since the summer of 2010.

If anyone has information about Fernando’s route, the La Sierrita area, or saw him or his belongings around late June 2010, please share what is known.
