Nelson Castro Contreras, 41, was last seen on July 13, 2023, in the area of Falfurrias, Texas, in Brooks County, or possibly further south in Hidalgo County. He is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 180 pounds, with black curly hair, brown eyes and a laceration scar above his right eyebrow.

On the day he disappeared he was wearing a size medium pink long-sleeved button-up shirt with black on the inner collar, size 36 Blue Jeans labeled JNS Authentic Golden Boys, a black pullover hoodie, black size 10 Jordan shoes with white lettering, a black ARIAT cap with grey and white lettering, a brown Catholic Scapular, a silver ring and a black belt with a green buckle showing a black bull. He carried a black OPPO A57 cell phone in a black case on his belt; inside the clear case was an orange note from his children reading Papa te Amo. Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation under case number 23-48168.

Few specifics about the circumstances of his disappearance have been released, leaving questions about where he went after he was last seen. Does anyone have information about Nelson’s movements around July 13 or who might have seen him that day?
