Arturo Montes-Araujo was 47 when he disappeared in Springdale, Arkansas. He was last seen on July 7, 2009, in the Parson Hills area, reportedly on foot and trying to hitchhike to a nearby store. At the time he was described as Hispanic, about 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, 150 to 160 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a mustache. He was wearing a blue button-up shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.

Montes-Araujo lived with his girlfriend and had a few relatives in the Springdale area, though most of his family lived in Mexico. He was classified as a disabled and endangered missing person. Friends and family waited about a week to report him missing because he sometimes disappeared for a few days, and the report was filed with the Springdale Police Department on July 30, 2009. The investigation has produced few leads and remains unsolved.

If anyone in Springdale in July 2009 saw Arturo or remembers him walking in the Parson Hills area, please share what you know.
