Zapata, Texas - On Monday, family and friends confirmed on social media that Mark Steve Torres, 26, an Army National Guard member has been found safe. Torres went missing since, Friday, June 17, 2022, according to his wife Ashlea Caroll-Torres, who confirmed in her Facebook account that a missing person report was filed on Sunday.

Torres failed to report for formation (duty) in the Texas National Guard in Zapata and an all out missing alert was triggered in social media in an attempt to locate him. Apparently, Torres received information that his wife and family members were out looking for him and he contacted authorities (Texas Departmentof Public Safety) to say he was well.

Torres will definitely have to explain his brief AWOL (Absent without official leave) from the Army National Guard duty.

Authorities from the Laredo and Zapata had launched a search alert for Torres.

No further official details have been released in the missing case, other than he was out partying and has been located safe just after 5:30p.m. on Monday, according to a friend.

He was later released from the hospital and investigators have been interrogating him to determine what actually occurred and if anything that Torres says can be confirmed.
