Laura Maria Hernandez, 25, was last seen leaving her home in Clovis, New Mexico, in December 1980. She was not reported missing until 1993, creating a large gap between her disappearance and when authorities began an active inquiry. At the time she went missing she was described as 5 feet 0 inches, 95 to 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Few details exist about what she was wearing or carrying when she left.

Both New Mexico and Texas authorities have been involved in the investigation. No dental records or fingerprints are available, but her DNA has been entered into databases in hopes of a match with unidentified remains or other records. The case remains open and there have been no substantial public leads reported.
