I assume they asked the lawn company already. I wonder what came of that? If he carried around multiple business cards for them I'd assume he either worked for them or was connected in some way

The card has a name on it, but I cant quite make it out; can anyone else?

I have shared the case on FB and on some Mexican FB pages with hope that his family can be traced. Feel free to share too.

10 K views of this case on FB and almost 90 shares so far. Not bad for few hours. I have been told by two different people on two different FB pages the same story, that one family has been located in Mexico and also one in US.

My Spanish is very rusty, or well non existent so if anyone can have a look at Spanish comment and translate or dig in more I would really appreciate it. Another comment is on my own FB page, link posted in previous post, but that one is in English.

Spanish comment is on big FB page Buscando Desaparecidos en La Frontera. Here is direct link to this case https://www.facebook.com/groups/537...7&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif

The photos found with him are posted on NamUs (UP13207)...Those people have got to be out there somewhere looking for this man. Very heartbreaking.

As per my fb appeal 2 years ago, he had two families, one in Mexico and one in US. Both have been informed. Not sure why he is still in NamUs, but it would be good if NamUs officially confirmed what is happening.

I did a tad bit of digging on the address on the business card and by looking at street view on google maps, the address today is an apartment building (which i'm thinking that this address has not changed since 2003 due to the context of the card. But the owner might be someone else now).

I also tried looking up the name of the owner and manager "Domingo Romain" but nothing on that. My guess as to how he obtained this business card is that he had a personal relationship to the owner of the building or was a relative of his, or it could be the other way around that this man knew somebody who was also a maintenance worker for the owner and recommended him to work at this place.

Can anyone guess the ages of the woman and the kids in the photographs??

The woman looks like she's early to mid-twenties. The child with her, I would say is somewhere around four or five, the older girl in the Winnie The Pooh photo maybe six, and the boy looks like it's a school photo, so maybe seven or so.
