Antonio Villegas Jr., 20, vanished from a brushy section of south Mission, Texas, on August 21, 2011, after a series of frantic 911 calls. He left his home in Alton at 4:00 a.m., and the calls began around 9:00 a.m. from near Butterfly Park; in one call he said he couldn’t move and that every direction looked the same. His truck and his clothing were recovered in the area, but no other trace of him has been found.

The terrain near Inspiration Road and Military Highway is known for migrant crossings and human smuggling, and authorities searched the dense, difficult landscape for three days before calling off the official effort because of extreme weather and exhausted search crews. Family members and volunteers continued searches afterward, with Border Patrol warning them about hazards in the area.

Antonio, also known as Tony, was described as a Hispanic male with black hair, 5 feet 6 inches tall and 175 pounds, last seen in a black shirt, khaki shorts, and white Nike sneakers. The case remains unsolved; did anyone in the Mission or Alton area see Antonio that morning or know where he might have been heading?
