Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8418) and 8 other sources
Carmen Mares, 35, was last seen in the early hours of September 2, 2007, in San Antonio, Texas. She had spent the evening with friends at the E&G Sports Bar located on Zarzamora and Woodlawn. At around 2:30 a.m., Carmen left the bar, reportedly giving a ride to a man with red spiky hair. Shortly afterward, she called her fiancé to let him know she was on her way home, but she never arrived and has not been heard from since.

Carmen was driving a white 1996 Mitsubishi Galant with Texas plates, which also went missing. At the time of her disappearance, she was a single mother of two children, and her loved ones describe her as a devoted parent. Friends expressed concern about her giving a ride to a stranger that night, and her failure to return was immediately alarming, as it was uncharacteristic of her to vanish without contacting anyone.

Despite ongoing investigations and her case remaining active, neither Carmen nor her vehicle has been found. Authorities continue to seek any information that could help solve the mystery of her disappearance.
