Margarette Ann Cuauhtli, who went by Ann, was 16 and a high school student in Arlington, Texas when she was last seen at home the morning of October 11, 2001. She was described as wearing a shirt, a mini-skirt and black boots with a zipper, and had a scar on her right leg; she often wore glasses or blue-tinted contact lenses.

Her adoptive father, Gabriel Cuauhtli, first reported her as a runaway and said she left with a boyfriend. His account later changed to an alleged abduction by members of the Mexican Mafia and that men came to the home demanding ransom. Emails purporting to be from Margarette were later traced to Gabriel’s office computer and found to be fabricated. Gabriel was arrested in 2002 on suspicion of abducting his daughter; those charges were dropped. He was later convicted of unrelated embezzlement and of tampering with evidence.

Extensive searches, including beneath a patio built soon after her disappearance, turned up no trace of Margarette. Authorities continue to suspect foul play and the case remains unsolved. Did anyone in Arlington around October 2001 have information about where Ann spent her time or who she was with that morning?
