Edgar Diaz-Cabanas, a 23-year-old man, was last seen on May 27, 2017, in Avon Park, Florida. He was with his younger brother, Martin Diaz-Cabanas, when both of them went missing. Edgar is described as having black hair, brown eyes, standing between 5'4" and 5'8" tall, and weighing approximately 150 to 170 pounds.

The case has been classified as suspicious, and both brothers remain missing under uncertain circumstances. The Highlands County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the case, urging anyone with information to contact them. Despite years passing, their family and local law enforcement still seek answers in the hopes of finding the two brothers.
