Deny Alcantara Cordero, aged 26, was last seen on January 3, 2012, in Hidalgo, Texas. At the time of his disappearance, Deny had been communicating with his family, informing them that he was in Reynosa, Mexico, and waiting for a "coyote" (a smuggler or guide) to help him cross into the United States. The last contact occurred between March 23 and 25, when Deny told his family that he was okay and awaiting further instructions from the guide.
On April 1, the coyote contacted Deny's family again, stating that Deny had fallen behind during the journey because he couldn't keep up with the group. Since then, Deny has not been heard from.
His family initially believed he may have been detained by immigration authorities but were unable to locate him in any detention facility. Despite efforts to search for him, Deny's whereabouts remain unknown, and his case remains unsolved.
Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as the investigation into Deny's disappearance continues.Last Seen: Jan 3, 2012
