In this devastating and urgent episode of Power of the Narrative, Jacob Newsome sits with Alejandro Carrillo and advocates to share the story of Mayolo Carrillo—a father, grandfather, and beloved brother who vanished near Eagle Pass after trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border to say goodbye to his dying mother.

Mayolo's family opens up about their heartbreak, the systemic failures they’ve faced, and the haunting silence from investigators. They are doing what law enforcement refuses to: searching every day, following every clue, and demanding the dignity Maolo deserves.

This is not just one family's grief, it's a mirror reflecting how immigrant lives are treated as disposable.

• “He risked his life to say goodbye.”

• “We’re doing the police’s job.”

• “To them, he’s just another person. To us, he’s everything.”
