Jose Blandon, a 25-year-old man, went missing on August 19, 2015, near Falfurrias, Texas. Blandon was part of a group traveling from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, attempting to enter the United States. He had left Guatemala earlier in August and was in communication with his family during the journey. The last known contact with him occurred when he called and mentioned that he was about 40 minutes away from being picked up.
However, he never arrived at the pick-up location and has not been seen or heard from since.
Blandon was reported missing in an area notorious for being treacherous for migrants, with harsh terrain and extreme weather conditions often leading to dangerous situations. Despite efforts by authorities, including his listing in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), there has been no significant progress in locating him. His family continues to hope for answers, as his case remains unresolved. His disappearance underscores the risks many migrants face while attempting to cross into the U.S. through remote and perilous regions like Brooks County, Texas.Last Seen: Aug 19, 2015
