Jose Luis Barrios Alcantara, 49, was last seen August 19, 2009 near Sasabe in Pima County, Arizona. Described as Hispanic with sandy hair and brown eyes, he wore a white shirt with orange stripes, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes when he disappeared while in a group crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Reports say he was apparently left behind somewhere between Sells and San Isidro on Tohono O’odham Nation land.

The Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner and the Mexican Consulate are listed as the investigating agencies. His case appears in NamUs as MP16317. Very few specifics are available about the group or the exact location where he became separated, and the remote, harsh terrain complicates search efforts.

If anyone has information about Jose’s movements that day, the route between Sasabe and Sells, or saw someone matching his description in that area, please come forward.
