Jillian Elizabeth Henderson-Ortiz was 19 when she was last known to be in Moriarty, New Mexico, in early 2006. She is described as blonde, blue-eyed, 5 feet 0 inches tall, weighing 110–120 pounds, with a scar on her forearm and a tattoo of a man’s name on her lower back. On January 16, 2006, she spoke by phone with her mother and said she planned to travel to California to visit her brother; that call was the last time her family heard from her.

Although reported missing from Moriarty, she was living in and last seen in Albuquerque. Police records indicate officers had responded to a domestic disturbance involving Jillian and her boyfriend shortly before she disappeared, and friends and family had expressed concerns to police about her lifestyle. Family members say a missing persons report was not accepted until a year after she was last heard from. She has not applied for a new driver’s license or other identification since she vanished, and investigators from both the Moriarty and Albuquerque Police Departments continue to have few concrete leads.

If anyone knew Jillian, saw her after January 16, 2006, or has information about her movements between Albuquerque, Moriarty and California, please come forward.
