Alberto Arias-Nunez, a 37-year-old father of three from Cypress, Texas, was last seen on December 13, 2017, after traveling to Tyler, Texas, to meet a friend who ran a body shop and possibly buy a car. He called his wife, Bianca, to say he had arrived in Tyler; that was his last known contact with family. When he did not return home and could not be reached, his wife reported him missing.

On December 17 his vehicle was found abandoned in an unlocked condition in the parking lot of a restaurant in Waskom, about 75 miles from Tyler. Investigators reported no immediate signs of foul play at the scene, but the circumstances were described as highly suspicious and the family believes foul play may be involved. Searches and investigations by local police and Texas EquuSearch have continued without major public leads.

Alberto’s family remains deeply concerned and urges anyone with information to come forward; did anyone in Tyler or along the I-20 corridor see him or his vehicle on December 13–17, 2017?
