Jacqueline Vasquez

3-month-old Jacqueline Vasquez was kidnapped outside a port-potty 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. Before meeting-up with her mom, who had a booth there, 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, she thought maybe her mother had picked up Jacqueline but immediately panicked when she saw her sitting alone at her booth. The women scoured the area for about 20 minutes 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

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.

Suzanne "Suzie" Escobedo

Suzie Escobedo lived with her husband Cris Escobedo and their four-month-old child in a trailer home near  Seadrift, in Calhoun County, Texas. That is where the 25-year-old was last seen on August 2, 2018.

According to published reports, Cris Escobedo reported Suzie missing that evening. 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. According to investigators, her phone, purse and vehicle were left behind. A widespread search for the mother of two turned up empty. Suzie's family doesn't believe she ran away. 

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. Williams returned to Philadelphia the next day, but Franchesca did not. Franchesca's sister, Francis, went to her apartment and spoke with her roomate, who reportedly stated that Franchesca was away and would return in two weeks.

It would be 18 long months before a break in the case. In August 2013, a fisherman found a foot inside an Adida's high-top sneaker 26 miles away in Corson's Inlet State Park in Ocean City, NJ.
