Cristian Ivan Parrada, a 28-year-old Hispanic male, was last seen October 2, 2008, in Altar, Arizona. Reports say he was last seen crossing the border in the desert. His disappearance was reported the next day and the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office opened a file.

Cristian is described as 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 210 to 230 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. He has multiple scars and pierced ears, including a scar under his mouth on one side of his chin and a torn-ear scar from a previous piercing. When last seen he wore a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, jeans and white sneakers, and carried an escapulario with a white cross on a blue string.

Very little else is known about his movements after that sighting. If anyone saw Cristian in or around Altar, Arizona, on or after October 2, 2008, or has information about his crossing, please come forward.
