Jose Gomez Cordova, 44, went missing January 3, 2021 while driving from Irving, Texas to Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico to visit family. He was last heard from when he crossed into Mexico at the Juárez–Lincoln International Bridge and lost contact shortly afterward.

He disappeared along the Monterrey–Nuevo Laredo Highway, often called La Carretera de la Muerte, a route noted in the text for a high number of kidnappings and violent incidents. U.S. and Mexican authorities, including the FBI, have been involved but no significant leads have been reported and his whereabouts remain unknown.

His family continues to press authorities in both countries and hopes for answers. If anyone has information about Jose Gomez Cordova’s movements after he crossed into Mexico or about his trip along the Monterrey–Nuevo Laredo Highway, please come forward.
