Edgar Valenzuela del Cid Missing Person Case

Edgar Valenzuela del Cid, a 43-year-old man from Guatemala, was last seen on July 24, 2018, in the McAllen, Texas area. His family reported that he last contacted them while in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, as he prepared to cross the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas. After this communication, he disappeared, and no further contact has been made.

Edgar had been living in Guatemala before his attempt to enter the United States. His decision to make the dangerous journey across the border came years after an incident in 2013 where he unintentionally became involved in a criminal case in Guatemala. Although Edgar was found with a cellphone and a homemade weapon during a police stop following a robbery, no charges were filed against him, and he was not considered a suspect in the robbery itself. Despite this, Edgar’s life took a turn, leading him to seek a new beginning in the U.S. in 2018.

On the day of his disappearance, Edgar was reported to have been wearing light blue canvas pants, a gray long-sleeve shirt, and brown shoes, and was carrying a green or brown bag. He also had several distinguishing features, including a mole under his eye and a gap between his teeth. Despite his brother's efforts to stay in touch, Edgar's fate remains unknown, and his family continues to search for answers regarding his disappearance. Few leads have emerged, and the case remains unresolved.
