Humberto Lopez Roman was 17 when he was last seen near Sasabe, Arizona, on May 23, 2010. He was attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border and disappeared in the Sonoran Desert. Humberto is described as Hispanic, about 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 110 to 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was reportedly wearing a brown collared shirt, black denim pants, light green socks, black shoes with orange soles, and a sky-blue denim hat, and he carried a wallet with 200 pesos.

Family provided several identifying marks: a scar on his chin, a 3 to 4 centimeter scar near his belly button, a scar on one leg, and a cut scar below his ankle. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is handling the case; the desert environment in the area complicates searches and identification. Very little else is known about the circumstances of his disappearance.

If anyone has information about Humberto’s movements on or around May 23, 2010, or remembers seeing someone matching his description near Sasabe, please come forward with tips.
