Maria Quinones, 58, disappeared from her Bushwick home and was last seen on March 5, 2014. Described as a Hispanic woman with graying hair, brown eyes (the right eye was lazy), she stood about 5 feet 2 inches and weighed around 170 pounds. At the time she vanished she was reportedly wearing a white shirt and grey shorts and had a distinctive owl tattoo on her upper right breast.

Her sister Elizabeth filed a missing persons report with the NYPD on September 10, 2014, after months without contact. Investigators opened a missing-persons inquiry but the case produced few leads and grew cold, leaving family and friends uncertain about what happened.

Reports say a later confession identified a killing at Maria’s Wilson Avenue home and described efforts to conceal the body, and that motive involved taking her Social Security benefits. Maria’s remains have not been recovered. Does anyone in Bushwick from 2014 remember Maria, her home on Wilson Avenue, or any unusual activity around March through September 2014?
