Magdalena Ramos was 16 when she left her Henderson, Nevada home on the morning of March 31, 2016, to go to school and never returned that afternoon. Her disappearance was out of character; family concern grew as hours became days and then weeks with no contact. She was described as Hispanic, between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 115 to 130 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes.

Investigators and family considered several possibilities. There were reports she may have run away with a boyfriend, whose name was not known to authorities or family, and family members suggested she might have traveled south and could be working at a factory—information that remained vague and hard to verify. The Henderson Police Department investigated the case, and Magdalena has since been emancipated.

If anyone knew Magdalena’s routines, the people she associated with around March 2016, or has information about her whereabouts after March 31, 2016, please come forward.
