Besy Chinchilla-Vasquez, 16, of Dallas, Texas, was last seen on July 31, 2022 and is classified as critically missing because of her age and the circumstances of her disappearance. Authorities and organizations including the Texas Department of Public Safety have publicized her case and urged the community to provide any leads.

There has been little public information about Besy’s whereabouts since she went missing. Her case has been cited amid a broader surge of missing children reports in Texas in 2022, a situation that law enforcement and child safety groups say requires ongoing attention and public tips.

Anyone who knew Besy, saw her around late July 2022, or has information that could help locate her is asked to contact law enforcement.
