Maribel Ivette Fresses was 27 when she was last seen in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood in the summer of 2018. Family members report the last contact was sometime in June or July at her boyfriend’s house; no formal missing person report was filed with the Philadelphia Police Department until February 28, 2020.

Maribel is described as between 5 feet and 5 feet 3 inches tall, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinctive tattoos include a feather with birds on the right side of her neck, a Hello Kitty design on her arm, a crown above the word Queen on her hand, a cross with the letters R and D on her wrist, and a Philadelphia Phillies P on the back of her neck. Originally from Pennsylvania, she had lived in Muncy and Southampton before moving to Philadelphia and was known to family and friends as Mari and Queen.

Very little media coverage has followed her disappearance, and the delay before the report was filed has complicated the inquiry. If anyone saw Maribel in Kensington in mid-2018 or has information about her whereabouts, please contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
