Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP16004) and 1 other source
In the summer of 2007, a 39-year-old man named Ismael Buch Quex vanished from Nogales, Arizona. He was last seen on July 13th of that year. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being between 5'0' and 5'2' tall and weighing between 120 and 140 pounds. The color of his hair and eyes are listed as unknown. When he was last seen, he was wearing a blue t-shirt and black pants, with black boots on his feet. He was also carrying a black pack or duffel bag.

The circumstances surrounding Ismael's disappearance remain unclear, with very little information available to the public. His case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System a national information clearinghouse and resource center for missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases across the United States. The Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner is the investigating agency assigned to his case. DNA from family members is pending submission to aid in potential identification efforts should the need arise.

Years have passed since Ismael Buch Quex was last seen, and his case has grown cold. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, a silent testament to a life interrupted. The lack of available details makes a comprehensive understanding of the events leading to his disappearance difficult to construct. This overview represents the known information about Ismael's case, a narrative pieced together from the few facts that have been made public in the hopes that someone, somewhere, might have the key to resolving this long-unanswered disappearance.
