Luis Manuel Hernandez was 36 when he disappeared from San Marcos, Texas, after a trip to Laredo on November 27, 2010. He was traveling in a green 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, Texas plate AD98575, with four others: Carlos Ortega-Gonzales, Nicholas Munoz, Ricardo Gomez and Ricardo’s 14-year-old nephew Jiovany Gomez, who was visiting from Chicago. The group crossed into Nuevo Laredo for shopping after handling vehicle paperwork, and Hernandez called his wife about noon saying they expected to be back in San Marcos between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. that night; they never returned.

Hernandez and Munoz were reported missing when they failed to show for work at Heldenfels Enterprises Inc. on November 30. Authorities describe the circumstances as unclear; some agencies list Jiovany as a runaway, but foul play is considered possible for all five and it is believed they may be in Mexico. The FBI opened a missing persons investigation.

If anyone has information about the group, their route, or sightings of the Suburban (AD98575) on or after November 27, 2010, please share what is known.
