Miguel Guamuch Culajay, 45, from McAllen, Texas, was last seen and heard from on July 17, 2009. He phoned his wife from Reynosa, Mexico, saying he planned to cross into the United States and was with a group that did make it across into McAllen. When Border Patrol agents arrived the group scattered; Miguel, reportedly unable to run, was taken by the group’s guide, or coyote, and allegedly handed over to Border Patrol. No confirmed contact or official confirmation of his whereabouts has been made since that moment, and his family continues to seek answers.

Very few verifiable details are available about what happened after Miguel was said to be apprehended. If anyone knew Miguel, was with him that day, or has information about his reported apprehension by Border Patrol, please come forward with what you know.
