Alberto Elizarraz Colin was 29 when he was last heard from on March 1, 2008, while crossing the border near Nogales, Arizona. He is described as Hispanic, between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing about 170 to 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinctive features include a three-inch scar on the back of his head, a surgical scar near his navel, and a mole below his left eye.

When last seen he reportedly wore a green cap, a black cotton sweater (medium or large), black waterproof pants with a white stripe, and white and gray Nike tennis shoes. His disappearance was reported to the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office on November 29, 2011, and his case was entered into NamUs in July 2012. The circumstances after he began his journey are unknown and the desert region has produced many unidentified remains.
