Omayra Velasquez was 21 when she was last seen at her home near the 100 block of Taylor Drive in Bridgeport, Connecticut, at about 8:00 p.m. on October 16, 1993. That night she wore light-colored jeans, a short brown leather coat, and black boots. She is described as Hispanic, with light brown hair, brown eyes, and a small scar under her chin.

After the last confirmed sighting at her residence there were suggestions she may have gone to a nightclub at the corner of Iranistan Avenue and Gregory Street and that she might have been with an unidentified man; that lead was never confirmed. Bridgeport police later collected DNA samples from the family seeking a match, but no one has reported seeing or hearing from Omayra since her disappearance and the case has gone cold.

Her family continues to mark her birthdays and her brother, Adam Velazquez, has urged anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward. Does anyone remember seeing Omayra or noticing anything near Taylor Drive or the Iranistan Avenue and Gregory Street area on October 16, 1993?
