Juan Andres Lopez Jimenez was 32 when he was last seen on August 6, 2009, in the Altar, Arizona area while crossing north from Altar, Sonora. He vanished during the journey and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

At the time he was reported missing he was described as a Hispanic male between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 130 to 175 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. Distinguishing marks included a roughly 4-centimeter scar on his head, a scar on his right knee, and burn scars on both arms. He was wearing a vertical blue-and-white striped polo, blue jeans, black boxer underwear, black socks and white Nike tennis shoes, and carried a worn black wallet, a black dress belt with a square buckle, a rosary, photos, a blue Puma cap, 50 pesos and a list of telephone numbers for Veracruz.

The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is handling the investigation and the case remains open. If anyone saw Juan in the Altar corridor around August 6, 2009, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
