Yarily Padilla was 20 when she was last in contact on April 30, 2012. Although a Stamford, Connecticut resident, her last reported location was McAllen, Texas, after she is believed to have crossed into the United States from Guatemala. Authorities and family have not publicly explained why she traveled so far from her New England home or who she may have been with.

Yarily is described as Hispanic and White/Caucasian, with black hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 5 inches tall and about 180 pounds, and a possible scar above her eye. She has been known by the alias Azucena Padilla. Her case was not reported to the Stamford Police Department until June 14, 2014, and a NamUs file was opened on January 22, 2015, leaving a troubling gap between her last contact and the official missing-person report.

Does anyone have information about Yarily’s travel to Guatemala or her time in McAllen in spring 2012?
