On June 29, 2023, a house fire on Peach Tree Street in Leming, Texas, led investigators to the body of 43-year-old Laura West, who had been fatally shot. Her roommate, 33-year-old Mary Heinz, was missing from the scene even though her personal belongings and vehicle remained inside the home.

Investigators identified 27-year-old Rosendo Jesus Montoya, a former coworker of Heinz at a local McDonald’s, as a suspect. Montoya had reportedly developed an obsessive infatuation with Heinz after a brief relationship that she had ended; that behavior escalated into stalking. Surveillance showed Montoya discarding black plastic bags in a dumpster near his workplace in Pleasanton; the bags were later found to contain partial human remains. Confronted by police, Montoya allegedly confessed to killing both women and led officers to Heinz’s body, which he had concealed in a rural area near Poteet. He also admitted to using a 9mm handgun and to setting the house on fire before fleeing with Heinz’s body.

Does anyone have information about Heinz’s last known movements or contacts in Leming before June 29, 2023?
