Authorities have confirmed that a missing Dallas area man crossed into Mexico at an international bridge in Brownsville.

Family members told Action 4 News that they lost contact with 28-year-old Noel Shankle on Friday, February 3rd.

The Carrollton, Texas man flew to Harlingen and was reportedly headed to get dental work done in Matamoros but never returned.

Investigators said Shankle crossed into Mexico at Brownsville's Veterans International Bridge at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, February 3rd.

It's not clear where Shankle was headed at that hour.
