Leyvi Matias Munguia, a 40-year-old woman, was last seen on April 10, 2022, in Falfurrias, Texas. Her disappearance is especially worrying because Brooks County’s terrain is harsh and has been the setting for many migrant disappearances; the area around Falfurrias includes a major border patrol checkpoint and difficult landscapes that can be deadly for those who travel there.

Local authorities conducted searches but few concrete leads have emerged. Family and community members continue to appeal for information while the Texas Department of Public Safety and other local agencies keep the case under review. The limited resources available for searches and the county’s unforgiving geography complicate efforts to locate missing people in this region.

If anyone saw Leyvi around April 10, 2022, in Falfurrias or has information about her movements, please come forward.
