Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP37636) and 2 other sources
Faustina De Leon, a 40-year-old Hispanic woman, was last seen on June 18, 2014, in McAllen, Texas. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as standing 5'5" tall, weighing approximately 115 pounds, with black hair. She was reportedly en route to Houston, Texas, and vanished while attempting to enter McAllen. Since then, no significant leads have surfaced, and her case remains unresolved.

De Leon's case has drawn attention due to the limited information available, making it challenging for investigators and family members seeking answers. Despite efforts by law enforcement, including inclusion in missing persons databases like NamUs, there have been no new developments. McAllen, a city near the U.S.-Mexico border, has seen other missing persons cases, adding complexity to investigations in the region.

Authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward, as her case has remained unsolved for several years, leaving her family in search of answers.
