This teenage boy was found in Brooks County TX in August 2022. TX - TX - Brooks County, HispMale, 15-18, Silver ID bracelet with initials EYAC, Aug ‘22
Apparently he had a recognizable face and had only been dead a few hours but no COD, PM photo or even a decent height or weight estimate. But we do have a possible name, Emiliano Yael Avalos Calderon. He was also wearing a bracelet with the initials AYEC, which to me makes it seem more likely this is his real name.

If any of yall could work your magic with by looking through missing persons FB groups that would be much appreciated. A super quick search for me didn't turn up anything but I'm very new to this so that doesn't mean much.
 
Mexico will launch a new tool later this month to help record information on the tens of thousands of people who have gone missing, the country’s federal prosecutors office (FGR) said on Thursday.

The registry is set to gather information from a number of databases covering mass and clandestine graves, arrests, torture crimes, criminal records, fingerprints and genetics, the FGR said in Mexico’s official gazette.

Last year, authorities’ list of officially disappeared people surpassed 100,000, and the number is now estimated at more than 112,000. Numbers rose in the aftermath of former President Felipe Calderon’s war on the country’s powerful drug cartels.

“Much remains to be done and this announcement is certainly a first step,” human rights group Centro Prodh said in a tweet. “The FGR has finally recognized its responsibility.”

A number of non-governmental organizations are dedicated to finding relatives who have gone missing (or been “disappeared” in Spanish), claiming that public offices dedicated to investigating cases are ineffective, unresponsive and under-funded.

The FGR’s announcement comes a day after Mexican Mothers’ Day, when crowds of mothers each year take to the streets to demand “truth and justice” for their missing children.

The National Forensic Data Bank (BNDF), together with the National Register of Unidentified and Unclaimed Deceased Persons, is set to launch operations for the database on May 29.

That is very good news and a major operation that will take years to come. But something is happening at last. I wish them all the best of luck.

This sounds integral. With all the counties in close proximity to Mexico alone, there must be at least 3000+ cases on NamUs of unidentified migrants, probably more that haven't been entered.

This young woman was located by Border Patrol on January 31 after they repatriated a group of immigrants. A migrant called Mexican authorities to say that they came across the woman prior to the encounter with Border Patrol.

She was wearing two hoodies, one with a galaxy print and another with a heart that read “Athletic Dept.” She also had on bright red Nike shoes.

They have a possible identity for this woman but she is still classified as unidentified. They believe that her name is Yoselin Salas Hernandez, a Mexican national. She was just 20 years old when she met her unfortunate demise.

This teenage girl was found at the base of a remote canyon near San Diego with her male companion, who was of the same age, in February of 1998.

This canyon where the two teenagers were found is known to be heavily traveled by international travelers.

The remains were skeletonized, so no hair or eye color is known, neither is the weight. Both the girl and the boy were Hispanic, 16-18, and about five feet tall.

Since this girl was found with another person, I will link his thread too.

I think that these two may have had a connection to one another. By “international travelers” it doesn’t seem too obvious whether it’s immigration or tourism they’re talking about. I think maybe these two were siblings, maybe even twins, especially given their close proximity with one another and their ages matching up. Perhaps they were a couple or even just friends looking for a better life here in the states.

It’s super sad to think about. I don’t know what they did with the remains or if they ever took DNA from them. If nothing happened to the remains I think they can take DNA samples from both of the teens and compare the two.
 
The archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Francisco Robles Ortega, offered a Mass on Sunday, Aug. 27, at the Shrine of the Martyrs of Christ the King for the thousands of disappeared persons and their families. The Mass was held in the context of the International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances, which is commemorated on Aug. 30.

Robles encouraged the relatives of the disappeared to keep alive the memory of the people whom “you are missing and we are missing.”

“We cannot settle for saying ‘disappeared,’ that is, ‘those people no longer appear on the map of humanity, they no longer count.’ … We need to keep alive the awareness that each of these faces in the photographs that you have brought are a loved, sought after, dear person, a person who is missing from the center of the family. An absent person,” the cardinal said during his homily.

The prelate emphasized that the problem of forced disappearance is a “human tragedy” that must resound in the minds and hearts of the authorities at the national level who are responsible for searching for missing persons and for guaranteeing the right to protection and security.

“We cannot allow the tragedy that involves so many families to be shielded by a number that is manipulated by some with political and election criteria. ‘Ah, for us to do well in the next elections, the number must be lowered, it must be said that they are fewer.’ We can’t allow that,” Robles stressed.

He also encouraged those attending the Mass to continue demanding justice from the authorities: “We want to know: What happened? Where are they? Are they alive or dead? If they’re alive, where are they? If they’re dead, where are they? We want to know, we have the right to know.”

Mexico Disappeared Resignation

Mothers of some of 111,000 people who have disappeared in Mexico over decades of violence on Wednesday marked the International Day of the Disappeared with protests and demands that the government do more to locate their loved ones.

Most of those missing are believed to have been abducted by drug cartels or kidnappers, and their bodies buried in shallow graves or burned.

Some marching down Mexico City's main boulevard were also protesting an apparent government effort to minimise the problem.

About 200 protesters — almost all women — chanted: “Where are they? Where are our Children?”

Edith Pérez Rodríguez, one of the marchers, wore a T-shirt with photos of her two sons, Alexis and José Arturo Domínguez Pérez. They vanished without a trace a decade ago in the northern state of San Luis Potosi.

Lack of funding and manpower have left police and prosecutors unable to conduct even the most basic searches — leaving it to volunteer groups made up of mothers, who often walk through suspected body dumping grounds with shovels, plunging long steel rods into the earth to detect the odour of cadavers.

“If we don’t search for our children, nobody will do it,” said Pérez Rodríguez

I noticed that this decedent "Sergio Nahum Alvarez Bernabe" has an unusually long post-mortem of 1988-2008.

PHONE.jpgOriginal.jpg

And yet this possible work ID from a "CityClub" was issued on November 18, 2006. And his phone is a red and white Nokia 5300 which was released that same month worldwide. I think this man died shortly thereafter or 2007-2008.

Also his age estimate is 26-48, though he seems to be on the older side.

*TW Post Mortem Photo* This seems like a decent match for Edgar Peralta. He even has a forearm scar similarly to the UID.

It's sad there isn't a picture available for Edgar Peralta. If you look at the stats it could be a match, but what's bothering me is the 2 years between missing and found. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) and the fact that the PMI only hours is. I think you should call it in, just in case.

Warning - (Viewer discretion advised)

Volunteer Searchers have located 20 sites with skeletal remains west of Santa Teresa in the past year – and notifying authorities and providing map coordinates – most of the bones are still there.

Gosh...that's really depressing that the sheriff's office won't even retrieve these peoples' remains.
 
Sounds to me that they are overwhelmed with the growing number of remains being found in the desert. However, remains that have been reported to have been found should not still be there a year later.

Below article is the Sheriff response to the volunteer groups’s statement in the previous article dated Sept. 24, 2024.

September 30, 2024

"2024, let me tell you where we are to date. We're at 87 as of Friday," Stewart said.
It’s an issue she said she’s taken to the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C.
