Paulino Norberto Del Mundo Japor Jr., a 59-year-old transgender woman and naturalized U.S. citizen living in Tampa, Florida, was last seen on September 15, 2019, at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. She had been traveling to connect to an American Airlines flight to Cozumel, Mexico, carrying a shoulder bag and a yellow and gray rolling suitcase, and was recovering from rotator cuff surgery at the time.

Around 6:00 p.m. on the evening she disappeared, Del Mundo Japor called her sister in California, said she no longer wanted to continue the trip, and asked for help booking a return flight; family members described her as sounding depressed and incoherent. Airport security footage shows she no longer had her suitcase at some point and her last confirmed sighting on camera was in a warehouse district near the airport at 3701 S. 20th Ave. Neither the rolling suitcase nor the shoulder bag has been found, and there has been no activity on her phone or bank accounts since.

Her disappearance is classified as an endangered missing person case and remains unsolved. If anyone was near 3701 S. 20th Ave. or the airport on September 15, 2019, and saw Paulino or her luggage, please come forward with information.
