Cynthia Acevedo was 39 when she was last seen on August 15, 2019, walking on Vatho Street near a cemetery in Laveen, Arizona, on the Gila River Indian Reservation. Family members say she stopped all contact after that day, which was out of character; her mother reported her missing to the Gila River Police Department on August 31, 2019. Cynthia is described as a Native American woman, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, 250 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes and a scar on her left cheek near her mouth.

Investigators consider the circumstances suspicious and fear she may no longer be alive. The FBI is involved in the case and is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The investigation remains active, and the family continues to seek answers and closure.

If anyone has information about Cynthia’s movements in Laveen on or after August 15, 2019, please share what you know.
