Ramona Francisca Felix was 17 when she went missing from Mesa, Arizona. The last confirmed sighting was on the evening of March 8, 2003, in the 500 block of South Olive; an aunt reported her missing after Ramona failed to return home from a visit with friends. She was described as a Hispanic female, 5 feet tall, about 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.

Ramona had a history of running away and previously returned after a few days, which initially reduced immediate alarm. Her aunt suggested Ramona may have traveled to Mexico seeking her biological mother; the aunt also said the mother was involved in prostitution in Mexico, a circumstance the family found worrying. Investigators considered — but never confirmed — a possible link to unidentified remains found in La Paz County, Arizona, in 2006 of a young woman of similar age and ethnicity. The Mesa Police Department continues to list Ramona as missing.

Did anyone in the Mesa area know Ramona’s friends or frequent places in March 2003 and have information to share?
