Juan Lopez Vail, age 38, was last seen on September 1, 2009, somewhere in Pima County, Arizona. He was traveling with a group who reported leaving him behind when he could no longer continue on foot. At the time he was also known to use the name Francisco Ruiz Lucero.

Juan is described as a Hispanic/Latino male with black hair and brown eyes. A distinguishing feature is a surgery scar on his thumb, which may appear shortened from a prior injury. The Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner recorded his case on October 23, 2009, but no precise last location was provided and no confirmed outcome is known.

The circumstances that left him unable to walk further — whether injury, illness, or exhaustion — are not specified, and the lack of a specific location has made search efforts difficult. Does anyone have information about Juan’s last known whereabouts or who was in the group that left him behind?
