I wish they took a photo of the belt too. By the way, how did you find cases like these? I also saw you on the Dateland John Doe thread.
I'm very interested in Stephen Missal's reconstructions, i pay attention to cases that he does reconstructions to. I have an archive of his works in my profile description.

I think he was just showing off his body. Maybe he tried to look intimidating or strong. He could have put on a shirt afterwards and then left.

There is someone with his name on Facebook:
Nestor Manuel Cabrales
Lives in Rancho Altar, Sonora, Mexico on FB.
From Sinaloa, Mexico
Looks like a middle class guy, with friends on both side of the border. Married. Posted ultrasound pic July 7, 2012. Last FB post July 8, 2012. Posted with group of friends. He even has a pose that looks like the bathroom pose. I would post the pic, but don't want to violate TOS.

He has a possible brother who is the same age as him who moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2014.

Maybe they crossed the border just to cross and he somehow got away from the group. I can't picture this guy going shirtless in the desert because he's from the desert himself. This is the kinda group who would have driven up to the border themselves.

Good job Friday Fan. I wonder who's he married to. Maybe his wife has pictures of him after 2014.

I doubt he would have walked, he likely drove by car through the border and back.

I feel like if he's our UP, there's sinister circumstances involved.

OK...I found the bathroom pic on Facebook. It's posted in 2013 by a woman who "Liked" his last post:

I think she's his sister? Her latest profile pic is that of Nestor taken in 2012 I believe.

Sad...
I wonder if he wore jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, etc.) when he was trekking across the border?

CIRCLED HD UP12583 comparison to Nestor Manuel Cabrales Valenzuela.png
I went ahead and circled the similarities to the recon and the HD picture of the MP.

Things to note:
1. The reconstruction may show noticeable features in an exaggerated way.
2. The MP's face leans to the side, which is why the right side of his jaw seems more rounded

Similarities:
1. Nose curving to the right
2. Cheekbones
3. Chin outline

Differences:
1. Eye height
2. Face Width (May be a weight estimation issue)

Yes, likely

Former SO is in US. (Probably from here)

Lived in and was last seen in Altar, Sonora, MX which is about 100 miles from Nogales.

The NAMUS report says he was last seen in Altar, Sonora, MX. I think that's where his last verified sighting was.
I take the Pima County, AZ and Sonora, AZ locations with a grain of salt, because they're all over the map!

There's no info stating law enforcement believes that. Nestor was last seen with a group only planning to go to the U.S. I think they did, but Nestor died in the desert. There's a frustrating lack of information about Nestor's clothing.
they may not know what he was wearing at the time sadly.
