Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP58000)
Luis Murillo Gonzales, a 29-year-old man, went missing on April 9, 2016, while traveling near Falfurrias, Texas. On the night of his disappearance, Luis was part of a group of ten people traveling on foot near Encino, Texas. He contacted his family to inform them of his situation, but the last communication they received from him was alarming. By April 12, members of his group reported to his family that Luis had been unable to continue walking due to exhaustion.
He was left behind with only a water bottle and a cellphone.
The group had encountered Border Patrol multiple times but managed to avoid detention. However, Luis was too fatigued to continue, and that was the last time anyone heard from him. His family and authorities have since been searching for him, but his case remains unsolved. His disappearance is one of many in the region, where the terrain and extreme conditions make it dangerous for individuals traveling on foot. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to help provide closure to his family.Last Seen: Apr 9, 2016
