The National Park Service is now releasing more information about a father and his 9-year-old daughter who vanished last month in Big Bend National Park.

Reports say a Fort Stockton man named Hector Flores is missing with his daughter Luna. In late January, the two travelled to the park in Flores' 2005 Dodge pick-up which was found abandoned on a very isolated road. Many of their personal belongings were left in the truck.

Flores has black hair, brown eyes, and is 5’9” in height and approximately 150 pounds. Luna has black hair and brown eyes. They both have family in San Antonio, according to the NPS.

With the two missing now for more than ten days, searchers are very worried they've been out in the elements with temperatures as cold as the low 20s during that time.

Search teams have been hiking the area, driving the backcountry roads, and searching with helicopters.

The public is urged to call the FBI Tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) with any information.
