Edy Leonel Boror Cojon, a 37-year-old Guatemalan national, was last seen on June 23, 2021, in Falfurrias, Texas, in Brooks County. The county’s remote ranchlands and extreme temperatures have been linked to many migrant disappearances and deaths as people attempt to bypass the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint there.

Two days after Edy’s last known sighting, the decomposed body of a man was found in Brooks County with personal items including a black Puma drawstring bag, a blue Patagonia shirt reading Built to Endure, black lace-up boots, dark jeans, a black belt, black socks, and a Guatemalan ID bearing the name Edy Leonel Boror Cojon and a date of birth. Authorities opened an inquiry and created a NamUs missing person profile while seeking DNA to confirm whether the body is Edy’s; obtaining DNA can require coordination with family abroad and may cause delays.

Local groups such as the South Texas Human Rights Center place water stations and assist families searching for missing migrants in the area. No conclusive identification has been reported for the body found on June 25, 2021. Did anyone in the region have contact with Edy or know of his movements around June 23, 2021?
