Velena Moreno, 48, was last seen in Spokane, Washington on December 31, 2024. She is described as a Caucasian woman with brown hair. No details about her clothing or belongings at the time of disappearance have been released.

The case has an uncommon jurisdictional twist: the missing-person report was filed in Johnson City, Tennessee on December 28, 2024, and the Johnson City Police Department subsequently located Moreno in Spokane and contacted her family there. Washington authorities asked her to make in-person contact to formally verify her well-being and allow the missing-person report to be closed, but she has not done so. Because she has not provided that in-person confirmation, she remains listed as missing in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP148590.

Does anyone in Spokane or Johnson City have information about Velena’s movements or well-being around late December 2024?
