TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Border Patrol's Missing Migrant Team is asking the public for help to reunite a deceased man, believed to be an undocumented border crosser, with family members.
Authorities say the man was found by a rancher in Santa Cruz County last July.
The medical examiner conducted an autopsy and obtained a full set of fingerprints. BP agents cross checked the fingerprints through multiple databases and found a positive match to a man from Jalisco, Mexico, born in 1946.
Records also show his last encounter with Border Patrol was on July 20, 2010.
Authorities say the Mexican Consulate in Tucson has been unable to locate the deceased man's family.
The Missing Migrant Team says they continue to examine the information and conduct research in hopes of reuniting the remains with his family as soon as possible.
Anyone with information should contact the Consulate of Mexico in Tucson, (520) 623-7928, or National: (855) 463-6395.
