Interesting that it says she may have been involved with the Mexican Mafia. That seems like a very random thing for her to be involved with. It would be interesting to know what type of involvement authorities speculate she might have had (drug trafficking, etc.)

Bump since its 31 years tomorrow from when she was reported missing. Sad there's so little about her. What was her scar from, did she have children?

 

[PayrollNerd]

Who was it that saw her? Did they report where she was going or where she left from? That would help pinpoint the body of water her & the car could be in. Assuming the car wasn’t stolen and wasn’t a “chop shop” type crime.

I don’t get the feeling that she was actually seen driving her car when she disappeared. Just that she had a green Oldsmobile. There’s no definitive date listed for last seen, simply sometime in late winter or spring of 1992.

In late 2023, Sunshine State Sonar searched 18 bodies of water in and around the Lakeland-Rockridge area. Two unrelated vehicles were located, a 1971 Pontiac Firebird, and a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am with T-Tops.

As we have seen in other cases, drugs never lead to anything good... one way or another they end up dead or thrown out on the street without a home... most likely some Mexican drug cartel kidnapped her... a beautiful blonde woman like her draws attention...
whatever the case
rest in peace
