Delfina Soledad Esiquio, known as Fina, was 59 when she was last seen in late June 2004 in Baja California South, Mexico, traveling with her daughter Paulina Morales toward the United States. Physical details given by family: a Hispanic female about 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches, 140 to 150 pounds, with a scar on the back of her right hand and a mole on her left breast. She spoke only the Misteco dialect, with very limited Spanish and no English, a factor her family says made her especially vulnerable.

On July 7, 2004, Paulina Morales’s body was found in a remote desert area near Topawa Village, Arizona, but Delfina was not located and has not been seen or heard from since she and her daughter were last together in Mexico. The Phoenix Police Department is handling the investigation and foul play is suspected. Very little is publicly known about Delfina’s movements after the two crossed the border.

If anyone saw Delfina or remembers her travel plans, whereabouts, or anyone who might have helped them after late June 2004, please share what you know.
