Jessica Lopez, 36, was last seen in the early morning hours of November 3, 2019, at the Windsor Motel in New Windsor, where she was staying with her on-and-off boyfriend, Matthew Mercado. Her silver 2005 Toyota Camry was later found abandoned in the Showtime Cinemas parking lot on Route 300 in Newburgh. Jessica, also known as Yessica, had a scar on her head, a scar on her right ankle, a red rose tattoo on the back of her neck, and the words Y Loca tattooed on her lower left leg.

Police focused on Mercado after he was with her the morning she disappeared; he was arrested on unrelated burglary charges a few days later. Prosecutors alleged Jessica was killed in the motel as she tried to leave, and that her phone and messages were deleted and her debit card used shortly afterward.

Jessica’s family, friends, and former students remember her as a former substitute teacher who left the profession to care for her ailing father. Her remains have not been recovered. Did anyone in the Windsor Motel or Route 300 area see Jessica or her Camry in the early days of November 2019?
