Thirteen-year-old Blanca Cuevas of North Las Vegas was last seen by her mother on June 16, 1996. She was described at the time as five feet tall, about 120 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. Her disappearance was reported to the North Las Vegas Police Department in the days that followed.

After the initial report, contact between Blanca’s family and investigators stopped for reasons that are not publicly documented. That break in communication left it unclear whether Blanca was ever located or whether the family later provided information to police. Her case remains open and is listed in national missing persons databases, with the North Las Vegas Police Department still listed as the investigating agency.
