Kathy Arredondo, 37, was last seen February 11, 2012, in Houston after a volatile day in her relationship. She had recently moved to Houston from New Mexico to live with a man she met online. That day the boyfriend allegedly disabled her car to keep her from leaving; despite that, Kathy and her teenage daughter walked out to shop and eat, and Kathy texted the boyfriend saying she was leaving him. They returned that evening and Kathy was seen falling asleep on the sofa in her daughter’s room about 10:30 p.m. When the daughter woke the next morning, Kathy was gone.

Only a few items were missing: keys, cell phone, cigarettes, and the engagement ring and necklace she had been wearing. Her ID, ATM card, wallet, clothes, and makeup were left behind. Family and friends say she was devoted to her children and would not have left without contacting them. Texas EquuSearch and law enforcement conducted searches but no trace has been found. There is no concrete evidence of foul play described, though the circumstances have left the family suspicious.

If anyone knew Kathy, her movements that night, or saw her after 10:30 p.m. on February 11, 2012, please share what you know.
