Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP65525)
Andres Smith Marcelo, a 27-year-old migrant from Honduras, was last seen on April 30, 2019. His last known location was in Tamaulipas, Mexico, close to the U.S. border. Marcelo had informed family members that he intended to cross into the United States, likely near Hidalgo County, Texas. However, after this communication, he disappeared, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

There have been suggestions that Marcelo may have been detained by U.S. authorities, but no confirmation has been publicly released. As of now, his case remains unsolved. Efforts to locate him, including his listing in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), have so far been unsuccessful, leaving his family and authorities searching for more information that might provide a breakthrough in his case.
