Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP15880)
Segundo Yanes, a 42-year-old man, was last seen on April 25, 2006, in McAllen, Texas. Yanes, who had been living in Texas, was attempting to cross the border into Mexico. He had reportedly paid a coyote to assist with his border crossing. After making the payment, his family lost contact with him, and his whereabouts remain unknown. Some reports from individuals suggest that Yanes was seen in a house or possibly in jail in Mexico, while another account claimed he had an accident and fell.

His family, including two sons living in New York, has been searching for answers ever since his disappearance. The case is still open, and authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to his loved ones. His case is listed with NamUs, a national missing persons database, which continues to gather and update information in hopes of locating Yanes.
