In the summer of 2023, a family began to worry about the wellbeing of 41-year-old Nelson Castro Contreras. He was last seen on July 13, 2023, in the area of Falfurrias, Texas, which is in Brooks County, or possibly further south in Hidalgo County. At the time of his disappearance, Contreras was described as a Hispanic male, standing at 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He has black, curly, clean-cut hair and brown eyes. A noticeable feature is a laceration scar located above his right eyebrow. On the day he went missing, Nelson was wearing a size medium, pink long-sleeved, button-up shirt that had black on the inner collar, along with size 36 Blue Jeans with the label "JNS" Authentic Golden Boys. He also had on a black pullover hoodie. For footwear, he was wearing black Jordan shoes in a size 10 with white lettering. His accessories included a black ARIAT cap with grey and white lettering, a brown Catholic Scapular around his neck, and a silver ring. He also had on a black belt with a green buckle that featured a black bull, and he carried his black OPPO A57 cell phone in a black case on his belt. Inside the clear phone case was an orange note from his children with the words "Papa te Amo." The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for this case, and they have been looking into the circumstances surrounding Nelson Castro Contreras's disappearance since he was reported missing. The case has been documented with the agency case number 23-48168. As of now, details regarding the specifics of his disappearance have not been widely publicized, and there is no information available to the public about the direction of the investigation or any potential leads. The lack of public information can be difficult for the family and community, leaving many questions unanswered about what might have happened to him after he was last seen. The overview of the case is that Nelson Castro Contreras, a 41-year-old man, vanished under unclear circumstances, and his case is still an active investigation.
