Teresa Guzman, a 22-year-old mother of three who spoke only Spanish, disappeared from Las Vegas in December 2008. Family members last saw her that month; they say she would not have voluntarily abandoned her young children. Teresa had talked about moving with the children to Colorado or Oklahoma, but her estranged husband, Francisco Vazquez-Rosas, opposed the plan.

No official missing-person report was filed for months after she vanished, according to the family, because Vazquez-Rosas allegedly spread a rumor that she had left for another man. Her brother-in-law reported her missing in May 2009, about five months after she was last seen. In late 2009, Guzman’s young daughters gave accounts that they had seen their father choke their mother, place her in a closet, and put her in a trash receptacle.

Vazquez-Rosas failed a polygraph and later confessed to killing Teresa, saying an argument on December 13, 2008, at an apartment on South Nellis Boulevard turned physical and that he hid her body and disposed of it, possibly at the Apex landfill. A judge later ruled the confession coerced and a murder charge was dismissed in April 2010, though prosecutors pursued a new indictment relying in part on the children’s testimony. Her body has not been recovered and the family in Mexico reports no contact. Does anyone have information about Teresa’s last known movements or the South Nellis Boulevard residence in December 2008?
