Luis Mercado Urias was 20 when he was last heard from on January 1, 2008, while crossing into southern Arizona. He was reported wearing white pants and a green long-sleeved shirt. Luis is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall, 120 to 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. A tattoo on his left arm reading WL with a heart is noted as a distinguishing mark.

His disappearance is among many along that border region where harsh conditions and limited information leave families searching without closure.

If anyone saw Luis around January 1, 2008, in southern Arizona or has information about his crossing or whereabouts, please share what is known.
