Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29017)
Manuel Mejia Dominguez, a 33-year-old man from Honduras, was last seen on January 1, 1983, while attempting to cross the Rio Grande into the United States near Falfurrias, Texas. Dominguez was with a group of companions when he was swept away by the river’s strong current. Despite efforts by his companions, no one was able to save him, and he has not been seen since that day. It is presumed that he drowned during the crossing.
At the time of his disappearance, Dominguez was described as a Hispanic male with black hair and eyes, standing about 5'2" and weighing 130 pounds. He had a small brown mole on his leg, just above the knee, and was wearing green or brown pants along with a shirt and shoes. He was also carrying a black backpack with a change of clothes. Although presumed to have drowned, no body has been recovered, and the case remains open.Last Seen: Jan 1, 1983
