Roberto Soto Munoz, 53, his wife Cecilia Salinas Soto, 72, and their grandson Armando Salinas Soto, 27, left Coachella, California, on December 10, 2012, for a holiday visit to relatives in Mexico. The last known contact was January 3, 2013, when they were reportedly leaving their relatives’ home to return to the United States in Roberto’s green 2003 Ford F150 pickup. They never arrived home and could not be reached by phone; family calls went unanswered and the phones appeared to be turned off.

The disappearance was reported to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Authorities found no record of the three re-entering the United States. The case has involved multiple agencies, including the FBI, U.S. Border Patrol, and the U.S. Consulate in Juarez, Mexico, and family members have expressed frustration about communication and progress. There are no significant leads publicized explaining what happened after they began their journey home.

Did anyone in the area south of the border around January 3, 2013, see a green 2003 Ford F150 or this family traveling north?
