Bernardo Hernandez-Lopez, 21, was last seen February 14, 1995, while attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego. He and his brother were part of a group trying to cross the Tijuana River when the group was swept by the river’s strong current. Bernardo’s brother reached safety but Bernardo was not seen again and his family has had no contact since that day.

Authorities classify the case as a missing person and it is presumed Bernardo may have drowned, though his fate is unresolved. Search efforts have not located him and the case remains unsolved nearly three decades later.

If anyone was in the Tijuana River crossing area on February 14, 1995, or has information about Bernardo’s whereabouts, please come forward.
