Veronica Gallegos was 19 when she was last seen on January 11, 2005, in Gun Barrel City, Texas. Her live-in boyfriend told investigators she packed a suitcase and left, possibly returning to Mexico, but she left behind her purse, her Mexican identification, and her six-month-old child. Her family reported her missing three or four days later and she has not been heard from since.

The boyfriend was treated as a person of interest and stopped cooperating with investigators. Foul play is suspected, but developments have been few and details remain limited. The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and seeks new information.

If anyone knew Veronica, where she spent time, or has information from early January 2005, please come forward to help bring answers.
