    Details of Disappearance

    Sanchez was last seen at his mother's home in Buda, Texas on June 12, 2009. He has never been heard from again. On June 15, his dark green Ford Explorer was found abandoned in a secluded mobile home park off Johnny Morris Road. Both tires on the driver's side were blown and the vehicle was "banged up" in multiple places. The back door was open and the interior had been cleaned completely of dirt, but there was trash present. The glove compartment was empty.

    Sanchez is one of eight siblings, and he has young children. It's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning, and he hasn't collected his disability benefits since he went missing. His case remains unsolved.
