Lots of businesses in the area so hopefully lots of cameras. I wonder if she had a doctors appointment in the area.

Hope she wasn't taken by one of those creepy people who cut babies out of pregnant women.

Her Facebook profile shows her with baby in 2016.

I am pretty sure this is her more recent Facebook profile with additional photos, and it says she is married.

 

[PayrollNerd]

I don't see any updates all all! Not in the online news and not on Facebook pages.

 

[Hdezfamily]

She is still missing no news of her

I feel like the obvious question is where is her baby’s father? It seems like preggo ladies go missing and more times than not it was the young man soon to owe child support. In my opinion.

The best case scenario in these cases is that the mother takes off to give birth because the infant is going to be taken by child services. Since the car is also missing, I’m hoping that this is a voluntary disappearance.

I noticed that she originally created this FB profile under the name, marelin.perez.
Not that I can find anything else using that in a search.

I wonder what is going on with her husband, and her child?

I know that I would be searching high, and low!

 

[HouseRules]

Pretty, pretty young woman. Her husband is IMHO an adorable looking kid. They're both so young. His facebook seems like that of a young dad that loves his wife and kids. Looks like he lives in Des Moines, Iowa but she is from there but now living in Chicago. Hope she is located safely.

She attends Latino Youth High School.
Posted on their FB page.

Julia Rooney, a school social worker, said she believes police have more information they are withholding from the family.

The family says detectives were not present at the press conference.

update, this mentions Kierra Coles who was also pregnant when she went missing in Oct.

Activist Andrew Holmes is offering to help with search efforts. His organization is currently working on finding 27 year-old Kierra Coles, a pregnant postal worker, who has been missing since failing to show up to work last October.

"I'm gonna be involved to find the whereabouts of these young women." Holmes said.

Other than race, the dynamics of these two women were completely different. Kierra Coles was early on in the pregnancy and may not have even been visibly pregnant. Marlen is due to give birth any time. Kierra's baby Daddy is married to someone else, a woman also expecting a baby, and has custody of a third child with another woman. Marlen appears to be very happily married with a two-year-old son. Kierra had a stable career job and Marlen was still in High School. I don't think these disappearances are related in any way if Mr Holmes was implying that.

Wonder if they have really gotten ransom demands?
Her mother said the family believes someone kidnapped her and is holding Uriostegui against her will. Her family said they've gotten ransom demands from Mexico, but said they don't believe she is actually there.

"We know nothing. We're asking the community to help us find her," said Uriostegui's father Arnulfo Ochoa.

Uriostegui is 9-months pregnant. Her due date is May 5.

Her family claims Uriostegui is responsible, and leaving her family and son would be out of character.

Hmmm, seems like the FBI would step in if a ransom was demanded from someone in another country. Hopefully, they are involved.
