Jesus Montiel Valdez was 21 when he was last seen crossing the U.S./Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona, on March 6, 2010. He was described as 5 feet 7 inches and 140–150 pounds, with blond or strawberry blond hair and green eyes. At the time he disappeared he was reportedly wearing a red T‑shirt with white stripes, black washed‑out jeans, and white tennis shoes, size 8.5.

His family provided several distinguishing features: a scar on an elbow and one on his forehead, a tattoo reading Kevin and the phrase Hecho en Nogalito on the top of his left shoulder, a devil tattoo on the right side of his back covering a previous number 7, and the name Karina tattooed on his right arm. He was also known by the names Daniel and Omar Montiel Valdez. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office was notified of his case on April 12, 2010, and public details about investigative progress have been minimal.

The circumstances of his crossing and what happened after he was last seen remain unclear. If anyone has information about Jesus, his movements around March 6, 2010, or has seen him since, please come forward.
