Antionette Renee Childress, 40, was last seen October 6, 2015, in Henderson, Texas. Known to friends and family as Toni or Renee, she had a history of drug use and was said to be trying to turn her life around after recent probation release. In the days before she vanished her sister, Patricia Nichols, received unusual messages from Antionette’s Facebook account, including one referencing guardian angels.

Shortly after she disappeared, Antionette’s car was spotted being driven by a man in Henderson who said she had sold it to him; family members doubted that claim. Police arrested the man on unrelated charges but did not link him to the disappearance. Two women later told Nichols they believed Antionette had met a violent end in connection with drug activity, but those allegations remain unconfirmed. A man named Felipe Villanueva, wanted for drug-related offenses and involved with Antionette at the time, is a person of interest; his whereabouts are unknown. The Rusk County Sheriff’s Office continues to seek information.

Did anyone in the Henderson area have contact with Antionette around October 6, 2015, or information about Felipe Villanueva?
