Melisa Sarai Romero Piedrasanta, a 23-year-old Guatemalan national, went missing on June 11, 2018, after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border with a group of migrants. Melisa had crossed the border near Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, and was reportedly last seen in Kingsville, Texas, after being abandoned by her group. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing blue canvas pants, a black long-sleeve shirt, and black tennis shoes.
She also had a distinguishing mole on the left side of her mouth.
Little information is available regarding the exact circumstances of her disappearance, but her case is one among many involving missing migrants in the Falfurrias area, which is known for its difficult terrain and high migrant mortality rates due to heat and dehydration. Brooks County, where Falfurrias is located, is notorious for its dangers, especially for undocumented migrants attempting to bypass border patrol checkpoints. Efforts to locate Melisa have not yielded results, and her case remains unsolved.
If you have any information about Melisa's whereabouts, you are encouraged to contact local authorities or organizations working on missing migrant cases.Last Seen: Jun 11, 2018
