Martin Pacheco Hernandez, a 41-year-old Hispanic man, was last seen March 9, 2004, in the remote Three Points area of Arizona while traveling with a group attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. He was reportedly left behind by that group at El Papalote Ranch, north of Sasabe and Three Points; no reasons for abandoning him are documented.

At the time he disappeared he wore blue jeans, a white shirt, a long-sleeved beige shirt size large, and a blue sweater with a red line size large, and white tennis shoes. He was about 5 feet 5 to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 200 to 210 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a scar on his right hand and marks on both feet. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is handling the investigation, which remains open with no confirmed sightings or contact since March 9, 2004.

If anyone was in the Three Points or El Papalote Ranch area on or around March 9, 2004, or has information about that border crossing, please come forward with what can help clarify Martin’s fate.
