Melissa Rodriguez, 31, was last seen the late morning of April 19, 2013, at her home on Lafayette Avenue in Collingdale, Pennsylvania. A mother of two young daughters, she was separated from her husband, Jose Rodriguez, and reportedly planned to take a train to Newark, New Jersey, to spend the weekend with friends and start a new job on April 22. She never arrived in New Jersey or showed up for work, and did not pick up her children from school.

Her husband filed a missing persons report with the Collingdale Police Department on April 23, 2013. Investigators learned the couple had a history of domestic disputes; Melissa had filed for a protection from abuse order in February 2013, then withdrawn it two weeks later. Police found inconsistencies in Jose Rodriguez’s account of when he last saw Melissa and what she was wearing. He later stopped cooperating and moved to New Jersey with the two children and his girlfriend and their infant son. Searches of the Collingdale home, including cadaver dogs, produced no clues. Foul play is suspected but Melissa’s whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Melissa’s movements that week or saw her on April 19, please share what you remember.
