Antonia Toni Padilla, 58, of Silver City, New Mexico, was last seen on July 3, 2020. That afternoon she arrived at a friend’s home on Broken Arrow Drive in the Silver Acres neighborhood near the wastewater treatment plant. Around 3 p.m. she reportedly left that residence alone and on foot. She did not drive and relied on family for transportation.

When reported missing on July 5, her family said being out of contact was highly uncharacteristic. She was wearing a blue sundress-style top with spaghetti straps, black capri leggings with an image of Marilyn Monroe and a red rose, flip-flops, and carrying a gray purse. Distinct tattoos include a rose on her left hand, Jessica and Jasmine on her left arm, Katrina on her right arm, and a small birthmark above her right inner eyebrow.

Silver City Police opened an investigation with FBI assistance on phone records. Searches using dogs, drones and ATVs have covered areas including the sewage treatment plant and the highway toward Lordsburg. The family offered a $1,500 reward; flyers were later removed by someone falsely claiming she had been found. Search warrants have been executed and at least one arrest was made on circumstantial evidence, but no one has been charged in connection with her disappearance. If anyone knew Antonia’s movements that afternoon or has information about her whereabouts, can you help?
