Case Description

Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP18995) and 6 other sources
Veronica Gallegos, a 19-year-old woman, was last seen on January 11, 2005, in Gun Barrel City, Texas. According to her live-in boyfriend, she packed a suitcase and left, possibly returning to her native Mexico. However, she left behind her purse, her Mexican identification, and, most notably, her six-month-old child. Her family reported her missing three or four days later, and she has not been heard from since.

Her boyfriend, who was considered a person of interest, stopped cooperating with investigators. Although foul play is suspected, there have been few developments in the case over the years, and details remain limited. The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate her disappearance, hoping for any new information that might bring resolution to her case.
