Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP15544)
Elizabeth Santos Lopez, a 28-year-old woman, was last seen on July 7, 2012, near Falfurrias, Texas. She had crossed the border at Matamoros, Mexico, and was traveling with a group toward Falfurrias. After calling her husband from New Brunswick, Texas, she informed him that the group planned to walk the rest of the way. During the journey, Elizabeth became ill and could no longer continue walking. According to reports from others in the group, she was given food, which caused her to go into convulsions, after which she lost consciousness.

The group reportedly left Elizabeth near a petroleum refinery and two ranches in the Falfurrias area. Despite efforts to locate her, Elizabeth has not been seen since. Her disappearance remains unresolved, and authorities continue to seek information to help bring closure to her case.

Her case is registered with NamUs, and her family and law enforcement are still hoping for any leads that could shed light on her whereabouts. The circumstances of her disappearance have raised concerns about potential foul play, and ongoing investigations continue to search for answers.
