Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP74755) and 1 other source
On April 20, 2018, a then 22-year-old man named Noe Alexander Archaga Flores, known as Male Noe Flores, was last seen. His last known whereabouts were in the vast and often unforgiving southern Arizona desert. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Hispanic/Latino male, standing at a height of five feet four inches and weighing between 110 and 120 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. A distinguishing feature is a tattoo of the name 'Isabel' on his left shoulder. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are connected to his last known activity of crossing the desert terrain.

The days and weeks following April 20, 2018, brought no new information about Noe's whereabouts. The initial report to the Phoenix Police Department was not made until over two years later, on October 17, 2020. The passage of time has not diminished the concern for his well-being. The lack of contact from Noe is a source of ongoing worry for those who know him. Details regarding the clothing and accessories he was wearing at the time he went missing are unknown, adding to the difficulty of the search. There is also no information about whether he was traveling with anyone or what his ultimate destination was.

The investigation into Noe Alexander Archaga Flores's disappearance remains open. The Phoenix Police Department is the primary investigating agency, and they continue to seek any information that might lead to his location. The case is a reminder of the perils that individuals can face in the harsh environment of the southern Arizona desert. The overview of this case is one of a young man who vanished while undertaking a dangerous journey. With limited information available to the public and law enforcement, the search for answers continues, fueled by the hope of one day learning what happened to Noe.
