Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP86296)
Kevin Cordon Oliva, a 25-year-old migrant, went missing on March 17, 2021, in the dangerous brushlands surrounding Falfurrias, Texas. Like many migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, Kevin faced the deadly terrain of Brooks County, where extreme heat, lack of water, and treacherous conditions lead to many deaths each year. Migrants like Kevin often attempt to bypass the Border Patrol checkpoint by walking miles through remote ranches, a path that can be fatal without proper
resources or guidance.
The last known location of Kevin was in this hazardous area, where dehydration and exhaustion claim many lives. Organizations such as the South Texas Human Rights Center in Falfurrias work tirelessly to assist families searching for missing loved ones, often retrieving information from the field. Despite these efforts, the vastness of the terrain and lack of immediate data make rescue operations and recoveries difficult. Unfortunately, cases like Kevin's represent just one of many tragic disappearances of migrants in South Texas, where many remain missing indefinitely.Last Seen: Mar 17, 2021
