Search Underway for Two Brothers Missing in Puerto Vallarta

PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – The mysterious disappearance of two brothers has prompted an extensive search effort in Puerto Vallarta. The Moncayo Moreno brothers, Luis Alberto, 27, and Briam Alexey, 21, were last seen in the Lomas del Coapinole neighborhood. Authorities have launched a full investigation into their whereabouts after they failed to return home after leaving to show a van they had listed for sale.

The State Persons Search Commission has released search files for both brothers. According to the file, Luis Alberto has short, straight, black hair, is of stocky build, and is 1.75 meters tall. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a black sports shirt, gray bermuda shorts, and black sandals. He has a wart on his neck and a scar on his left eyebrow.

Briam Alexey was wearing a white shirt, gray and yellow bermuda shorts, and black sandals. He has a fair complexion, brown, broken, short hair, and is 1.65 meters tall with a slim build. He has several distinguishing features including a mole on the right side of his nose, a spot on his left cheek, a scar on his left arm, and braces. His tattoos include the years 1971 and 1969, a crown with an arrow, and MCMLXXI on his left arm, “Faith in God” on his left chest, a palm tree with a beach on his right ankle, and two crossed arrows on his left ankle.

Fourteen days have passed since their disappearance, and the State Prosecutor’s Office has not released any public information regarding the case.

The troubling case adds to the growing number of missing persons in the state of Jalisco. There are currently 14,890 people in the state whose whereabouts are unknown, with the majority being between the ages of 20 and 29 at the time of their disappearance. Of this group, 4,532 people were in this age range, meaning that three out of every ten people who disappear in the state are between 20 and 29 years old, according to the National Registry of Missing or Unlocated Persons.

The families of the Moncayo Moreno brothers are desperately seeking information and ask anyone with knowledge of their whereabouts to contact local authorities immediately.

As the search continues, the community of Puerto Vallarta is reminded of the importance of staying vigilant and reporting any suspicious activity. The hope is that with the public’s help, Luis Alberto and Briam Alexey can be safely reunited with their family soon.
