Mirian Janeth Funez Arreaga, 22, disappeared in the Arizona desert sometime between July 17 and July 31, 2009. Reportedly left behind while attempting to cross the border after departing Caborca, Mexico, she was last seen in desert areas near Phoenix wearing canvas pants, a dark shirt, and black tennis shoes. She also used the name Ovidia Elida Robledo Fanon and was carrying false Mexican documents in that name.

Family provided identifying details: a scar on the left leg just above the ankle and a small scar over one eyebrow. The Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner and the Guatemalan Consulate are involved in the inquiry. Very little is publicly known about the circumstances that led to her separation from the group or what happened afterward.

If anyone has information about Mirian’s movements in July 2009 or remembers seeing someone matching her description near Phoenix, please come forward.
