Have you seen her?

Lucero Sarabia Reeves
San Antonio, Texas

Lucero Sarabia Reeves, affectionately called 'Princess' by her family, is the mother of two young boys and was eight months pregnant when she vanished after leaving a Thanksgiving gathering in San Antonio, TX, on Nov. 26, 2004.
At the time, Lucero had just separated from her husband and moved in with her mother, Juanita Trevino, and sister, Amanda, along with her two sons.
According to her sister, Lucero spent the day bonding with her family, excited to cook Thanksgiving dinner for them for the first time. After dinner, Amanda, then 16, invited Lucero to a gathering at her boyfriend's place. Lucero dropped her mother off at work and headed to the party. After picking her mother up at 10 p.m., Lucero wanted to return to the party and convinced Juanita to drop her off. At around 1:30 a.m., the mother and daughter had their final conversation via phone, with Lucero telling Juanita that she would get a ride home from an acquaintance at the party. Lucero never returned.
Click on the video below for an exclusive interview with Lucero's sister.

The acquaintance is a man by the name of Richard Chabes. According to Lucero's family, Chabes, then 29, said he stopped at his apartment and that Lucero decided to walk home from there. ​
After dozens of calls to her daughter's phone went unanswered, Juanita contacted the San Antonio Police but was told they had to wait 48 hours before the police could initiate a search. Desperate for answers, the family began their own search. Juanita went to the apartment to confront Chabes, but he told her that Lucero was upset about an argument she had with another woman at the party and opted to walk home. ​
​Two days after Lucero disappeared, Chabes abruptly moved out. Investigators searched the apartment and found blood on the wall and carpet. However, the evidence was not enough to arrest Chabes because the blood could've been from an injury Lucero sustained during an altercation at the party, according to local media reports.
It wasn't until a year later that investigators located Chabes in Indiana, where he was serving a sentence for an unrelated offense. San Antonio Police questioned Chabes about Lucero's disappearance. He allegedly claimed that a woman at the party hit Lucero, causing her nose to bleed. However, it's not clear why Chabes stopped at his apartment instead of driving Lucero home, or how long she was there before allegedly walking home.
Anyone with information about the disappearance of Lucero Sarabia Reeves should call the SAPD's Missing Persons Unit at 210-207-7660 or CRIME STOPPERS at 210-224-STOP.

Tabitha Queen
Bastrop, LA

29-year-old Tabitha Queen, mother of three, was last seen on surveillance video at a supermarket near her home in Bastrop, LA, on May 10, 2021.
According to local media reports, Tabitha left her three children home alone while she made a quick trip to the store. Surveillance video from a Save-U-More shows Tabitha at the checkout register before exiting the store carrying several bags. 
What happened to Tabitha after leaving the store is still a mystery. Her mother, Mary Lunford, lives in San Antonio, Texas. She told reporters Tabitha called her on Monday, May 10 to wish her a belated happy Mother's Day. During the call, Lunford says she heard two men in the background and asked Tabitha who she was talking to. Tabitha replied, "Uh, mom, I gotta go," and hung up. Lunford said she called her back, but it went straight to voicemail.
Lunford reported her daughter missing the next day. On May 12, police found Tabitha's car abandoned on West Pine Street in Bastrop. Surveillance video from a nearby business shows a man parking the vehicle and walking away.
​According to local media reports, Tabitha's 11-year-old daughter told investigators that she saw her mother arguing with a man she had loaned her car to a few days before she disappeared.
Bastrop Police say they have a person of interest in the case but no suspects.
​Tabitha was last seen wearing pink pants and a cartoon character jacket. She is 5'4 and at the time weighed 230 lb. 
Anyone with information on Tabitha Queen’s disappearance should call Bastrop Police at 318-281-1322 or North Delta Regional Crime Stoppers at 318-388-2274.

Kierra Coles
Chicago, IL

​
26-year-old Kierra Coles, a U.S. Postal worker in Chicago, was three months pregnant when she vanished on Oct. 2, 2018.
Kierra's mother, Karen Phillips, told local media she reported her daughter missing two days later on Oct. 4.
Thanks to surveillance video from multiple locations, detectives pieced together a timeline of Kierra's final moments before she disappeared, but they still need the public's help to solve this case.
​One video shows Kierra carrying groceries to her apartment on the 8100 Block of South Vernon and a man they call a person of interest, arriving shortly after. Hours later, a separate video shows Kierra and the man driving off in her car with the expectant mother behind the wheel, according to Chicago police.
​Surveillance video from a Walgreens on 8600 S. Cottage Grove shows Coles withdrawing money from an ATM at approximately 10:43 pm. This was the last confirmed sighting of Kierra, according to investigators.
An hour later, detectives say surveillance video shows Kierra's car arriving at a different part of the city and the man exiting the passenger side at 11:45 pm. No one exits the driver's side. The man gets into his own car and drives off. ​Detectives say the same man drove Kierra's car back to her apartment the next day and walked out with some unknown items before driving away in his car that was parked on another street.
Picture
According to local media reports, although police have not publicly named the person of interest, Kierra's family identified him as Josh Simmons, Kierra's boyfriend at the time and the alleged father of her unborn child.
​Phillips told the local media that Simmons was with her as police searched Kierra's apartment on Oct. 4. Detectives said he gave conflicting information and has since stopped cooperating with the investigation.
Kierra Cole is still considered a missing person. Anyone with information should contact Chicago Police at 833-408-0069 or 312-746-7330 or online at CPDtip.com. You can watch Chicago PD's coverage of this case here.

Monique Rivera
Brooklyn, NY

Monique Rivera, 22, was a loving mother of three boys. She lived with her children and their father, Timothy Bryant, in Brooklyn, NY. 
At about 2 p.m. on March 29, 1989, Monique went shopping with two women she had recently met who convinced her to bring her six-week-old son Andre along. Monique left her other sons, ages 4 and 7, in the care of her sister. Monique got into a burgundy Pontiac Grand Am with Maryland plates and never returned.
A jogger found Monique's body at the bottom of a wooded embankment in the Bronx the next day. She had been struck in the head with an object and strangled with a scarf. Baby Andre was gone.
The investigators believe the two females targeted Monique for her baby. Some news reports say Monique may have known one of the women from middle school. According to local news reports, while Monique was out for a walk with her boys the day before, on March 28, the two women drove up to her, got out of the car, and started a conversation. Both reportedly showed great interest in Andre. The women took Monique and her kids to McDonald's and then shopping for clothes.
At the time, the suspects were described as a black woman in her mid-30s and possibly a black or Hispanic woman with red hair between 22-25 years old. The latter is who Monique may have known from school.  
​There's a chance that Andre is still alive and unaware of his true identity.
Anyone with information on this case should contact the NYPD at 212-694-7781 or 1-800-THE-LOST.

Jacqueline Vasquez
​Avondale, AZ

3-month-old Jacqueline Vasquez was kidnapped at a swap meet in Avondale, AZ, on the morning of May 6, 2001.
According to investigators, Olivia Castaneda, then 18, arrived at the crowded swap meet just before noon with her daughters, Jacqueline and 2-year-old Niely. Before going to her mom’s booth, Castaneda took Niely to use a portable restroom, but the stall was too small, so Castaneda left Jacqueline outside in her baby carrier. When she exited the stall, Jacqueline was gone.
At first, Olivia thought her mother had picked up Jacqueline, but panicked when she saw her sitting alone at the booth. The mother and daughter did their own search before calling 911.

Avondale Police sealed off the swap meet and searched all vehicles, but to no avail. Witnesses told investigators they noticed a woman loitering around the porta-potties that morning. Police released two composite sketches of the person of interest, but the case remains open.
There's a good chance that Jacqueline is still alive and unaware of her true identity. Jacqueline has a heart-shaped birthmark on her upper right arm. If you have information about this case, contact Avondale Police Department at 623-333-7001

What happened to Cheka?

Franchesca Alvarado
​Philadelphia, PA

Franchesca "Cheka" Alvarado was a 22-year-old single mom living in Philadelphia. She was last seen outside the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ, on March 17, 2012.
That day, Franchesca secured a babysitter for her 3-year-old daughter and headed to the shore town with an acquaintance named Tracy Williams to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Williams returned to Philadelphia the next day without Franchesca. 
Unable to reach Franchesca, her sister Francis went to her apartment and spoke with her roommate, who reportedly stated that Franchesca was away and would return in two weeks. At that point, the family knew something was wrong.
The Alvarado family filed a missing person report, and when investigators asked Williams what happened, he reportedly stated that Franchesca told him she would find her own way home, and that was the last time he saw her. It would be 18 months before there was a break in the case. In August 2013, a fisherman found an Adidas high-top sneaker with a foot still inside floating in the ocean, 26 miles away in Corson's Inlet State Park in Ocean City, NJ. When the Alvarado siblings saw a picture of the sneaker on the news, they knew it belonged to their baby sister. Months later, Franchesca's femur and tibia also washed ashore; the medical examiner confirmed the body parts belonged to Franchesca.
​What happened to the young mother is still a mystery.​ There's no official cause of death. Both Williams and the roommate have been questioned, but there are no suspects in the case. Her family laid her partial remains to rest.
If you know what happened to Franchesca Alvarado, contact New Jersey State Police at 609-882-2000 ext. 3353

Reina Morales Rojas
​Boston, MA

Reina Carolina Rojas migrated from El Salvador to Boston in search of a better life in May 2022. Six months later, on November 26, Reina mysteriously vanished after leaving her apartment in East Boston. 
The 41-year-old mother of two and former police officer in El Salvador is seen on surveillance video exiting her building and standing on the sidewalk talking on the phone. According to Boston police, Reina was picked up by a car service and dropped off five miles away near 7 Alston St. in Somerville. It's not clear why Reina went there, but she hasn't been heard from since.
Alicia Morales, Reina's sister who lives in El Salvador, knew something was wrong when her calls to Reina's phone on November 27 went straight to voicemail. She contacted the building's landlord, Francisco Magana. He filed a missing person report on November 28, but investigators didn't issue a public notice about Reina's disappearance until January 12, 2023. Investigators didn't explain why they decided to wait more than a month before notifying the public, but a spokesperson for the Boston PD acknowledged that it "could've and should've been done sooner." 
According to the FBI, Reina had two cell phones that were turned off just after midnight on November 27. Reina was last seen wearing black leggings, a black top, a gray hooded sweater, and dark-colored sandals or slides. Reina likes to wear wigs.
If you have information on the disappearance of Reina Rojas, contact Det. Michael Byrnes, Boston PD at 1-857-274-4300 or FBI VICAP, 1-800-634-4097

Have you seen her?

Sofia Lucerno Juarez
​Kennewick, WA

Sofia Juarez vanished on the evening of Feb. 4, 2003, a day before her fifth birthday. Her case involved the first use of an Amber Alert in the state of Washington.
According to initial reports, Sofia, her mother, and other relatives were at their Kennewick, WA., home when the four-year-old somehow managed to exit the property without anyone noticing. The family thought that perhaps Sofia had gone with her grandmother's partner, who also lived at the house, to a convenience store earlier in the evening, but that turned out not to be the case. Fearing the worst, the girl's mother called 911.
Based on information from a witness, investigators believe Sofia was kidnapped as she walked westbound in the 100 block of E. 15th Avenue, just a short distance from the family's home. The witness learned about Sofia's disappearance on the news and contacted the police, claiming to have seen a little girl matching Sofia's description being led away by a Hispanic boy between 11 and 14 years old. The witness told investigators the girl was crying while the teen laughed as he walked her near an occupied van parked on the next street.
Although investigators had the witness information since 2003, they didn't share the details about the possible suspect or vehicle to the public until 2021. Why did the police hold on to that information for so long? It doesn't make sense. Sadly, Sofia's mother died of natural causes in 2009, never knowing what happened to her daughter. The family believes she died of a broken heart. 
In regards to a viral TikTok video by creator Aka y Alla who interviewed a 23-year-old woman in Culiacan, Mexico, whom many suspected looked like a grown Sofia, police say DNA test results rule her out. 
The van was described as a light blue or gray 1970s or early 1980s full-sized panel type van with no side windows. The teen boy would now be between 29-32 years old. If you have information about Sofia, call Kennewick Police Department special investigator Al Wehner at 509-582-1331 or 1-509-585-4208.

Have you seen her?

Pauline Diaz
San Antonio, Texas

Pauline Diaz, then 63, was last seen leaving the HEB grocery store where she worked in San Antonio, Texas, on Dec. 7, 2010.
Surveillance video shows Pauline walking out of the store and briefly speaking to a woman before driving away. She has not been seen or heard from since. According to investigators, Pauline was going to the home of her estranged husband, Pedro "Pete" Ruiz, to pick a up a lawn mower. Her truck was later found abandoned along Highway 181, just down the street from his home. Ruiz acknowledged seeing Pauline that day but not much else.
Investigators focused on Ruiz from the start. According to media reports, Pauline was about to file for divorce, and her loved ones suspect this may have triggered Ruiz. Even though a search of his home turned up no results, Ruiz remains the only person of interest in the disappearance of Pauline Diaz's.

If you have information about Pauline, call Bexar County Criminal Investigations Division at: 210-335-6070.
