Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9065) and 5 other sources
Maria Trinidad Velasquez, a 29-year-old woman from Houston, Texas, was last seen on June 8, 1986. She left her home that day to run an errand at a nearby store but never returned. At the time of her disappearance, Maria was described as 5'3", weighing 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She had noticeable burn scars on the front of both her thighs.

There has been no trace of Maria since she went missing, and foul play is suspected in her case. Despite investigations by local authorities, including the Houston Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety, no significant leads have surfaced. Maria’s case remains unsolved, and it is considered an open missing persons case.

Investigators have gathered DNA samples, though no breakthroughs have been reported. Her family and law enforcement continue to seek any information that could lead to a resolution in her case.
