Marcos Arrellano Zavala, a 22-year-old man, was last seen on August 30, 1998, in Willis, Texas. He was last seen at Esmerelda's Bar in the company of Guadalupe "Lupe" Pacheco and Pacheco's two adult sons, Luis and Juan Pacheco. Witnesses reported that they left together in a brown Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, which was later found abandoned in Conroe, Texas, several days after Zavala's disappearance.
Disturbingly, a pool of blood was found in the bed of the truck, which DNA testing confirmed belonged to Zavala.
The Pachecos are believed to have fled to Mexico after Zavala went missing, and neither they nor Zavala have been found since. Zavala's family, both in the U.S. and Mexico, have not heard from him since that night, and authorities presume he was the victim of foul play. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, and law enforcement continues to seek information that could provide answers about his disappearance.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Willis Police Department, as the case remains unsolved and Zavala's body has never been recovered.Last Seen: Aug 30, 1998
