Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33404) and 3 other sources
Edwin Colindres, a 32-year-old male, was last seen on September 14, 2012, in Brooks County, Texas. He had left his home country of El Salvador on September 5, 2012, with plans to enter the United States. His journey brought him into the U.S. through the area near Reynosa, Mexico. On September 21, 2012, his family received a call from individuals who were traveling with him, informing them that Edwin had been left behind along the journey because he could no longer continue. He was reportedly left under a tree, likely in a remote area of Brooks County, Texas.

Despite efforts from authorities and the involvement of missing persons databases like NamUs, there has been little progress in determining Edwin's whereabouts. Brooks County, known for its harsh desert conditions, has seen numerous similar cases where individuals attempting to cross the border disappear in these challenging environments. Edwin’s case highlights the dangers that migrants face while traversing through this region, and his family continues to search for answers as his fate remains unknown.

The Texas Department of Public Safety, alongside other organizations, keeps his case active, hoping to gather new information or leads that may help resolve the mystery of his disappearance.
