I found a man with his name on FB from Guatemala who looks just like him. Not sure if I’m allowed to link that here? What do you guys think about the photo comparison?

I feel fairly confident, I’m gonna go for the submission while I wait to see if I hear back from his contacts.

I noticed there was one person reacting to his photos with a sad emoji... His wife doesn't have any posts about him being missing or having passed away. I think the best thing to do is to contact the agency handling the case. If the family and/or friends are not seeking info on SM, contacting them is not the step to take. MOO JMO

Wow, so have they connected the two cases yet to your knowledge?

I believe they have.
Apparently, this poor man was reported missing shortly after crossing the border. He was last heard of in McAllen.
His wife was sent a photo of him, from behind, walking in a field. She didn't say who sent the photo though... Do "coyotes" send photos? Was it taken by someone "traveling" with him?
In the photo, he was carrying a backpack and was wearing two necklaces... In the comments, his wife stated he was wearing two rosaries and a ring with the "Our Father" prayer. None of these items are listed on NamUs.

This is so sad... My prayers to his wife and kids.

I hope they have some closure at least knowing.

I doubt coyotes would take a photo, I wonder who else he’d been traveling with.

Seems like these cases where someone dies crossing the border are so common it’s not even really news here

I've heard of cases where the coyotes send photos to make false proof of life and/or to prove they "kept" their word and "helped" the migrant cross the border, most of the times to extort more money from the families. Some of these migrants are robbed, killed or left to die, after crossing the border, by the coyotes themselves. Juan Pablo was found with a white cell phone, why didn't he send a photo himself?

Would really like to know what was Juan Pablo's cause of death and, what happened to his personal belongings.

MOO JMO
