Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28458) and 1 other source
Maria Sandoval, age 37, was last seen on October 12, 2012, in Weslaco, Texas. She was reportedly left behind at a gas station in Weslaco and was supposed to be picked up and taken to North Carolina. However, she never made it to her intended destination, and there has been no confirmed information regarding her whereabouts since that day.

Maria's case was later entered into the NamUs database, and authorities have continued to search for leads in the hope of uncovering what happened. Described as a Hispanic female with black hair, she stood around 5 feet tall and weighed approximately 180 pounds. Despite multiple efforts, her case remains unsolved, and her family and investigators still seek any information that could bring closure to her disappearance.

If you have any information related to Maria's case, authorities urge you to contact the relevant law enforcement agencies.
