Lucero Sarabia Reeves
San Antonio, Texas

Click on the video below for an exclusive interview with Lucero's sister.

Lucero Sarabia Reeves, affectionately called 'Princess' by her family, was the mother of two young boys and eight months pregnant with her third child. She vanished after leaving a Thanksgiving gathering in San Antonio, Texas, 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 family, Lucero was excited to cook Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. She spent the day bonding with her loved ones. Later that evening, 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 gathering and convinced Juanita to drop her off. At around 1:30 a.m., the mother and daughter had their final conversation, with Lucero assuring Juanita that she would get a ride home from an acquaintance at the party.

​The acquaintance is a man by the name of Richard Chabes. According to Lucero's family, Chabes, then 29, stated that he stopped at his apartment and that Lucero decided to walk home from there. ​

​After dozens of calls to Lucero's phone went unanswered, Juanita contacted the San Antonio Police but says they told her they couldn't do anything until Lucero had been missing for 48 hours. Desperate for answers, the family initiated their own search. Juanita went to the apartment to confront Chabes regarding her daughter's whereabouts. He claimed that Lucero was upset about an argument she had with another woman at the party and that she opted to walk home. ​

​Two days after Lucero disappeared, Chabes moved out. Investigators searched the apartment and found Lucero's blood on the wall and carpet. However, the evidence was not enough to arrest Chabes, according to local media reports.

The picture on the left was taken on Nov. 25, 2004, a day before Lucero Sarabia Reeves disappeared.

​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 Lucero was there before allegedly walking home.

San Antonio police questioned several people, among them Lucero's ex-husband and others who were at the party. Per sources, Lucero's phone records show calls to her ex-husband and also to the alleged father of her unborn child around the time she disappeared. The latter is currently serving a life sentence for the 2005 murder of a 16-year-old boy.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of Lucero Sarabia Reeves should call the San Antonio Police Department's Missing Persons Unit at 210-207-7660 or CRIME STOPPERS at 210-224-STOP.

Jacqueline Vasquez
​Avondale, AZ

3-month-old Jacqueline Vasquez was kidnapped at a swap meet in Avondale, Arizona, on the morning of May 6, 2001.

According to investigators, Olivia Castaneda, then 18, arrived at the crowded swap meet with her daughters Jacqueline and two-year-old Niely just before noon. Before meeting up with her mom at her booth, Castaneda took Niely to use a portable restroom, but because the stall was too small, Castaneda left Jacqueline outside in her baby carrier. When she exited the stall, Jacqueline was gone.

At first, Olivia thought maybe her mother had picked up Jacqueline, but she 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. Police released two composite sketches of the person of interest, but the case remains open.

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 followed her grandmother's partner, who also lived at the house and had gone to a convenience store earlier in the evening, but he told the family that he never saw Sofia. 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 11-14 years old. The witness told investigators that 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 release the details about the possible suspect or vehicle to the public until 2021. Sadly, Sofia's mother died of natural causes in 2009 and without ever 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.

He told investigators and her family that when he got home from work around 7 p.m., his four-month-old daughter was there, but Suzie was nowhere to be found.

Suzie's sister went to the couple's trailer that evening and noticed there was blood on the carpet in their bedroom. The family believes that something happened to Suzie in the home. They share details about the case in a video titled Unidos por Suzie or United for Suzie.  The Texas Rangers and Calhoun Sheriff's Department suspect foul play but have not named any person of interest in Suzie's disappearance.

In May 2021, Suzie's family suffered another tragedy when her 21-year-old brother passed away. The family says he became depressed and anxious when Suzie vanished.

In an effort to keep the case in the public eye, Suzie's family has set up a GofundMe account to raise money to pay for missing posters, t-shirts, billboards and a reward.

That day, Franchesca secured a babysitter and went to Atlantic City with an older male, an acquaintance named Tracy Williams, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
