Jhonnatan Atencio Pulgarin, a 32-year-old Venezuelan national, went missing on April 15, 2022, near Eagle Pass, Texas while attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. The brothers were separated in the chaos; Gustavo reached U.S. soil but Jhonnatan did not resurface after entering the river.

His wife, who remains in Venezuela, has publicly appealed to U.S. and Mexican authorities to intensify searches in the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande) area, especially around Piedras Negras, Mexico, where he was last seen. She said he was wearing jeans, without a shirt, and barefoot at the time. No significant developments have been reported since the disappearance.

If anyone was in the Piedras Negras or Eagle Pass area on April 15, 2022, or has information about crossings on the Rio Grande that day, please share what is known.
