Ernesto Gamez Esparza, 27, of Valentine, Texas, was last seen on March 21, 2021, and was reported missing after he was last known to be driving a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. His family grew worried when there were no further sightings or communications. Valentine is a remote West Texas town near the U.S.-Mexico border, and limited local resources and public surveillance have been noted as complicating factors.

The Texas Department of Public Safety issued a bulletin asking for public assistance. The case remains open and no significant public breakthroughs have been reported. If anyone has information about Ernesto’s whereabouts, please come forward.
