Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Cisneros was last seen between Arivaca, Arizona and Sasabe, Arizona on February 23, 2004. He and a group of people were attempting to enter the United States illegally from Mexico at the time of his disappearance.
En route, the group was robbed, two of its members were beaten, and Cisneros disappeared. He has never been heard from again. His family in Mexico and the United States says he was close to them and it is uncharacteristic of him not to contact them for so long.
The Arivaca area is a popular place for illegal immigrants to cross the border from Mexico into the United States. It is also very dangerous and many who attempt the journey die from thirst and exposure in the desert. It is not known if this happened to Cisneros, however; his body has not been among those found in the desert. His case remains unsolved.

September 2021 updates and sources
A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe.
By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends.
Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
