Juan Francisco Hernandez, 24, of Pasadena, Texas, was last seen July 26, 2017 while driving to visit family in Agualeguas, Nuevo León, Mexico. He was traveling with friend Roberto Franco Jr. in a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe; the vehicle was tracked crossing the U.S.-Mexico border near Brownsville but neither man ever arrived at their destination and both have been missing since.

Shortly after the disappearance, Franco’s family received a ransom call demanding $5,000 and paid the amount, but that did not produce the men or further information. Several police reports were filed in Mexico and both Mexican and U.S. authorities have been involved. The case remains open and unresolved, and both families continue to seek answers.

If anyone has information about Juan’s route, sightings of the Tahoe after the border crossing, or contacts who may have been involved, please share what you know.
