On May 7, 2010, Bernardo Herrera Resendiz, a 44-year-old man, was last seen in the area of Douglas, Arizona. At the time of his disappearance, he was in the process of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. His intended destination was Casa Grande, Arizona. He was described as a Hispanic male, standing between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall, and weighing between 182 and 202 pounds. He had brown hair and brown eyes. His case is one of many unsolved missing persons cases in the Douglas, Arizona area.

Bernardo had several distinguishing physical features that could aid in his identification. He had a surgical scar on his groin and a mole on his right calf. Additionally, he had a tattoo on his left hand of the word 'STAKE.' When he was last seen, he was wearing a sleeveless gray shirt, a navy blue t-shirt with a yellow letter on the front, and light blue jeans. He also had on a black sweatshirt with a medium neck closure and white and black socks. For footwear, he was wearing white Puma brand tennis shoes with red stripes. He was carrying a black backpack and a brown wallet which contained precious photographs of his children. He also had a brown belt, a gray and beige hat, and a silver watch.

The circumstances surrounding Bernardo Herrera Resendiz's disappearance remain limited, with the primary detail being his last known activity of crossing the border with a specific destination in mind. His case is being handled by the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office. Over the years, there has been no significant public information released regarding any leads or developments in the investigation into what happened to him after he was last seen. The lack of new information has made it difficult for his case to be resolved, leaving his family without answers.
