In the border town of Nogales, Arizona, a mother's conversation with her 26-year-old son, Glen Alexander Madrid, on February 13, 2012, would be their last. During the call, she advised him to stay in Nogales and find a job to save money for another attempt at crossing the border. He agreed with his mother's plan, assuring her he would remain in the city. However, after that phone call, Glen, a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, vanished, and his mother never heard from him again. At the time of his disappearance, he was between 5'4' and 5'6' tall and weighed between 140 and 150 pounds.
Glen's appearance is distinguished by several unique tattoos and scars. A prominent scar stretches from his chin to his ear, and a mark resembling a bruise has been on his right cheekbone since childhood. His right arm is covered in a full sleeve of tattoos, and the name 'Gladys,' his mother's name, is tattooed on the back of his head. Further identifying tattoos include a star on his right breast with the letter 'H' for Houston on the same side, a hand holding a rosary near his wrist on his tattooed arm, and the name 'Paula' near his elbow on the same arm. He also had his eyebrow pierced. When he was last seen, it is believed he was carrying a Honduran ID with his real name.
The circumstances surrounding Glen Madrid's disappearance remain unclear, and the case has grown cold over the years. His mother's plea for him to stay and work in Nogales was the last known communication anyone had with him. The Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner is the investigating agency, but with no new leads or information, the trail has gone cold. The lack of any contact or sightings in the years since that final phone call has left his family with unanswered questions and a painful void. The overview of the case is a young man on the cusp of a new life, a final conversation with his mother filled with plans for the future, and then an unnerving silence that has stretched over a decade, leaving a family to wonder what became of their son in the border town of Nogales.
