Julian R. Quinonez was 35 when he disappeared on July 6, 1996, in Lukeville, Arizona. He was last seen with his brother, Vicente Quinonez, and the two were reportedly attempting to cross the border from Mexico into the United States. Julian was described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 150 pounds.

Very few details are available about what happened after they were seen that day. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation, but there have been no significant breakthroughs and neither brother has had contact with family since the disappearance. The file remains open and the circumstances around their crossing attempt are the central fact known about that day.

Did anyone in the Lukeville area or along the border see Julian or Vicente around July 6, 1996, or have information about their route or companions?
