Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP62386) and 9 other sources
Melissa Rose Ann Garrett, aged 47, was last seen on August 31, 2017, in Ingleside, Texas. She was reported missing shortly after Hurricane Harvey hit the area. Melissa was last spotted walking down a street near Baywood and Port Avenue, pulling a brown suitcase, possibly wearing a red long-sleeved shirt and shorts. Her boyfriend claims he last saw her leaving his house, but her family expressed doubt, suggesting that Melissa might not have had the strength to carry a suitcase by herself due to her health conditions.

Melissa struggled with mental health issues and had recently completed a stay at a rehab facility. She required medication to manage her condition, but her boyfriend indicated she had stopped taking it around the time of her disappearance. Although she had gone missing briefly in the past, the extended period without contact this time raised concerns that she might have come to harm. The investigation remains active, and local law enforcement continues to seek information regarding her whereabouts.
