Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP104953) and 6 other sources
Valerie Ingorvaia, a 38-year-old mother of five from San Antonio, Texas, was last seen on November 28, 2019, in Fort Worth after spending Thanksgiving with her family. Valerie was planning to return home but disappeared in the early hours of November 29. Her phone last pinged near Highway 173 between Hondo and Castroville around 10:22 AM before her GPS was turned off, an action considered uncharacteristic for her.

At the time of her disappearance, Valerie was in the company of a man named Chance Stelzig, who later became a person of interest in the case. Stelzig was arrested in March 2020 for an unrelated murder that took place shortly before Valerie vanished, raising further suspicions about his involvement. Despite this, no concrete connection between her disappearance and the crime has been established, and Valerie’s whereabouts remain unknown. Both Fort Worth and San Antonio police continue to investigate the case, which has remained open.

Valerie's family has been actively involved in the search for answers, organizing community efforts, distributing flyers, and maintaining a social media presence to raise awareness. They have even sought to hire private investigators to assist in the search. However, as of the latest updates, there have been no significant breakthroughs, and foul play has not been ruled out in her disappearance. Her family continues to push for answers and closure.
