Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4292) and 8 other sources
Elsha Marie Rivera, a 25-year-old woman, was last seen on February 1, 2004, in the 1300 block of East Myrtle Street in Fort Worth, Texas. She left behind all her personal belongings, including money, clothing, identification, and pictures of her four children, raising immediate concerns about her well-being. Elsha was suffering from ovarian cancer at the time of her disappearance, which caused her severe pain and required medical attention. She had distinctive physical features, including scars on her head, hand, and both legs.

Investigators suspect that Elsha may have become a victim of human trafficking. It is believed she might have traveled to either Oklahoma or Mexico, although no concrete leads have emerged since her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved, and authorities are still appealing for information that could help uncover her whereabouts.
