On 09-14-2010, Quinones-Flores left Topeka, Kansas with an associate in a 1997 gray Dodge Caravan with unknown Kansas plates. It is purported that the associate stored 2 boxes in Quinones-Flores' van to transport to Mexico for him. Quinones-Flores was returning home to his wife in Mexico and never arrived. His wife suspects Quinones-Flores is deceased, and she is not interested in case updates. The associate was driving a separate vehicle, and he reportedly makes regular trips to Mexico delivering clothes, furniture and money to family members and returns with other property to be delivered to the states. It is possible that Quinones-Flores is not a correct name, or he has changed his name.
