Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP91085)
Carlos Eduardo Monroy Velazquez, a 20-year-old male, was last seen on March 19, 2022, as he prepared to cross from Piedras Negras, Mexico, into the United States near Eagle Pass, Texas. On that day, he contacted his family, sharing his location and sending photos of where he was staying. He informed them that he was planning to cross the border at dawn with the help of a "coyote," a guide who assists migrants in crossing borders illegally.
Unfortunately, after that contact, Carlos was not heard from again.
The person guiding Carlos later informed his family that he had been left behind on a ranch in Eagle Pass, Texas. His belongings were recovered at the location, with the help of the U.S. Border Patrol, though Carlos himself was not found. His family continues to search for him, and his case has drawn attention from both Mexican and U.S. authorities, as well as migrant rights groups.
Carlos’s disappearance highlights the dangers faced by migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, an area where many individuals have gone missing. His family and advocates remain hopeful for new information that might lead to his discovery. The case underscores the vulnerabilities migrants face in border regions, where risks of exploitation and abandonment are high.Last Seen: Mar 20, 2022
