Maria Jimenez-Rodriguez, a 29-year-old paralegal and mother, was last seen the morning of June 21, 2018, in Houston after dropping her four-year-old daughter at a babysitter’s house and leaving for work. She never arrived at the office. That same morning a coworker received uncharacteristic texts from Maria’s phone, including one saying she was being followed by men in a red truck.

Maria’s vehicle was found the next day abandoned a short distance from her home with her gym bag inside; her phone, keys, and purse were missing. Investigators focused on personal trainer Erik Arceneaux after surveillance footage showed him buying a chainsaw and trash bags on the day she vanished and blood was found at his home, though the evidence could not be conclusively tied to Maria. In 2019 he was charged with Maria’s murder despite no body having been recovered.

Maria’s family continues to seek closure as the investigation proceeds. If anyone knew Maria’s routines, saw her car on June 21 or noticed the red truck described in the texts, please share what you know.
