Javier Sanchez Marroquin was 35 when he disappeared in the Arizona borderlands. He was last seen October 28, 2009, in Sasabe, Pima County, while traveling with a family member, Roque Sanchez Marroquin, who also went missing the same day. The case file was opened July 30, 2012, and remains active with the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Javier is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 158 to 178 pounds, with light brown hair and light brown eyes and a smallpox scar on his face. When last seen he wore a green shirt, dark blue jeans and yellow leather work boots, and carried a black plastic Casio watch and religious images of the Virgen de Santa Regina and the Virgen de Guadalupe.

If anyone knew Javier’s movements, where he worked or traveled, or has information about that October 28 crossing, please come forward.
