Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP16376) and 1 other source
On a winter day in Nogales, Arizona, a 24-year-old man named Ramon Alejandro Hernandez Lopez was last seen on December 29, 2009. At the time, Ramon was a young man with brown hair, standing between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighing somewhere between 150 and 170 pounds. Known to some by the nickname 'Kor,' his disappearance has left a void of information and unanswered questions for his loved ones. The last known information about his whereabouts indicates he was in the process of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a journey that for many is fraught with uncertainty and potential peril.

The official record of his disappearance was created on July 30, 2012, nearly three years after he was last seen, when his case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The Pima County Sheriff's Department is the primary law enforcement agency handling the investigation into what happened to Ramon. Despite the passage of time, the details available to the public about the circumstances of his disappearance remain limited, with the central fact being his last known activity of crossing the border near Nogales.

The lack of new information has left the case unresolved, and the narrative of Ramon's disappearance is one of ambiguity and concern. The overview of the case is that of a young man who vanished at a vulnerable point of transit between two countries. The years that have passed since he was last seen have not brought any clear answers as to his fate. The investigation remains open, a quiet but persistent search for a man who went missing over a decade ago at the border.
