Family members of 20-year-old Edinburg resident Eric Samora say he was likely looking for quick and easy money when he agreed to help smuggle undocumented immigrants around the Falfurrias checkpoint.
"He had to be convinced to do it, be I know my brother I know that he wouldnt have done it if it didnt feel right," his brother Raymond Samora Jr. said.
It happened exactly a week ago today near the San Manuel area.
The smuggling attempt was foiled and Eric ran and hid trying to avoid being caught be authorities.
His cousin who was with him promised to go back for him but never did.
The next day his mother learned Eric was missing and the last words he spoke to his cousin.
"He told me (his cousin) that he was scared, he was thirsty and there were two persons running behind him," Eva Zamora said.
Erics family has spent the last five days searching the vast ranchlands of Brooks County.

He is still missing. He is not listed in NamUs yet.
This unidentified body found three months later and 75 miles away may have potential.

Putting this here for my own follow-up later.
