Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP16353) and 1 other source
On November 12, 2009, a 25-year-old man named Jesus Flores Flores disappeared under circumstances that remain unclear. He was last known to be in the vicinity of Sasabe or Nogales, Arizona, at the time of his disappearance. The last contact anyone had with him was a phone call he made from Saric, Sonora, a location situated south of the Arizona border towns of Sasabe and Nogales. It is believed that he was in the process of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border when he went missing. Authorities have also noted that he may have been using the alias Jesus Ortega Nunez.

Jesus is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and green eyes. He has several distinguishing physical features that could aid in his identification. These include a scar that runs down his right eye and a notable absence of a nail on his right thumb. He also has distinct tattoos: one on his left wrist depicting a heart with an arrow through it, and another on his pinky finger of two 'Z's. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and yellow industrial-type shoes. He was also wearing a black sweater, a grey hooded sweater, both black and brown socks, and a brown belt with a straw buckle. He had on a camouflage hat adorned with an image of an iguana and was carrying a prayer card of San Judas Tadeo.

The case of Jesus Flores Flores is being handled by the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner. Information regarding his disappearance has been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP16353. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are still under investigation. The lack of concrete information and the international nature of his last known movements present significant challenges to resolving his case. His family and loved ones are left to wonder what became of him after his last phone call from Saric, Sonora, as he attempted to cross the border into the United States.
