Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP79145) and 1 other source
Wilmer Orozco Montoya, a 28-year-old male, was last seen on June 19, 2019, in Falfurrias, Texas. Montoya was part of a group of migrants traveling through the area when he was separated from them near a paved highway close to Falfurrias, where AT&T towers were visible. The region is notorious for being a dangerous route for migrants, as they often try to bypass border checkpoints through remote and harsh terrain. Despite efforts from authorities and humanitarian groups, Montoya has not been found, and his case remains open.
