From the link in Post #1: Nancy Troche-Garcia – The Charley Project
Troche-Garcia was last seen in Asheboro, North Carolina on May 19, 2018. She stopped at the home of her ex-boyfriend in the 300 block of East Balfour Avenue that day and dropped off their six-month-old baby. She then went to her ex-boyfriend's sister's home and asked her to help take care of the baby, because she was going to go to Mexico because her mother was sick. She has never been heard from again.
When Troche-Garcia's family in Mexico was contacted, authorities learned her mother was not actually sick, that Troche-Garcia had not returned to Mexico, and that her family was unaware that she planned to return. She did make a few calls after her disappearance, including calls to an out-of-state phone number.
Her loved ones don't believe Troche-Garcia would have willingly left her daughter behind; the baby had been born premature and was still breastfeeding. Investigators stated there was no evidence of foul play in her disappearance, but that they were puzzled by her case, as none of Troche-Garcia's other friends recalled her saying anything about leaving.
She was last known to be driving a burgundy 2001 Chevrolet Impala with the North Carolina license plate number DFD-2191. It is still missing; a photo of a similar vehicle is posted with this case summary.
Prior to her disappearance, Troche-Garcia had worked at a local furniture factory for almost three years. Her case remains unsolved.

Options: voluntary missing (left with someone, self-harm), accident, foul play
Her mother wasn't really sick and didn't know anything about Nancy's return to Mexico. Somebody in this case is lying. Either Nancy had other plans, or her in-laws aren't telling the truth. On that account accident seems less likely.
She wouldn't leave her baby. Unfortunately mothers have abandoned their babies before, not sure with the baby this young.
Her car has not been found in the year since her disappearance. In all scenarios the car could be hidden (e.g. in a ravine or a body of water). She could still be inside.
She made phone calls after dropping off the baby with the ex. The police might have concluded a number of things from the phone data. It could have been her or someone else making those calls.
IMO foul play seems the most likely here, though other options are possible.

Good analysis of the situation, @indicolite22! I think finding the vehicle is key in this situation, in addition to knowing who was called on Nancy's phone after the baby was dropped off.

Article from January 2020
New clues in disappearance of missing Asheboro woman
Capt. Thompson recently shared that the department secured a search warrant and had finally gained access to Nancy Garcia’s Google account.
[...]
Garcia’s Google account confirmed that the day before she went missing, she had mapped her way to a birthday party, which was consistent with stories told to police.
The records also showed that on the last day she was seen, Garcia had used Google Maps to map directions to a car dealership in Madison. That information was new for the police department — they had never heard from anyone that Garcia had visited a car dealership.
[...]
Unfortunately, Thompson said, they found nothing at the dealership that could aid in their investigation.
Garcia’s account went quiet after that. Then, in January of 2019, more than six months after she was last seen, there was one more hit.
“It was logged back into in Mexico, very close to where her mom is and where she grew up,” about 30 miles from her hometown, Thompson said..
“We actually pulled it up on Google Maps to see the location where it was logged in at and it just looks like a shack.”
Thompson said they have attempted to contact Mexican authorities to check out the location, but have not had success.
When asked whether or not someone else could have logged into her account, Thompson said that they have spoken to family, all of whom say that they did not have access to that kind of information.

NC woman still missing two years after she left baby with family reportedly to visit sick mother in Mexico
Maria Garcia knows exactly how many days have passed since her daughter disappeared. She’s kept count. Sunday marks 854 days without Nancy Troche Garcia, and her mother said she has suffered tremendously through each and every one of them.
Maria told Dateline that she has traveled to Asheboro four times since Nancy disappeared. During her visits, she meets with the detectives at the Asheboro Police Department, hoping for new information.
Captain Thompson told Dateline that an investigation was launched in May 2018 when Nancy was reported missing. Interviews were conducted with Nancy’s ex-boyfriend, his family, and Nancy’s friends and family.
Captain Thompson and lead detectives Jeremy Suddeth and Andy Rippey, assured Dateline that they are still actively working the case and encourage anyone with information to come forward. The police have not named a suspect in Nancy’s disappearance.
Capt. Thompson added that they have contacted the FBI, but said they have not received assistance.

Nancy has been missing for over two years. Is this all the information there is on her case? If so, it's time for someone to take a closer look.
So, I know it has been a while since you replied to the post, but I agree with you. I live in Asheboro, and I can't understand why no one has been to this shack to check it out.

A summary of everything I could find on the case, with the new information in 2020.
6 years today.
Nancy, 28, was last seen in Asheboro, North Carolina on May 20th, 2018. She had attended a kids birthday party with her daughter the day before, on Saturday, and everything seemed fine according to her friends.
On Sunday, she stopped at the home of her ex-boyfriend in the 300 block of East Balfour Avenue and dropped off their 6 month old baby. She then went to her ex-boyfriend's sister's home and asked her to help take care of the baby, she said was going to go to Mexico because her mother was sick. She has never been heard from again.
She was last known to be driving a burgundy 2001 Chevrolet Impala with the North Carolina license plate number DFD-2191. It is still missing.
Her family does not believe she would abandon her daughter willingly, she was a dedicated mother, her baby had been born premature and she was still breastfeeding. Investigators could not find evidence of foul play.
Nancy was born in Mexico along with four siblings. She relocated to the Asheboro area in 2011 with a man to whom she was engaged. Her mother said their marriage was not a good one. It did not last long and after her divorce she got her U.S. citizenship. At the time, she had worked at a local furniture factory for almost three years. By 2018 she was living in her own apartment and had recently gone through a breakup with the father of her child.
She has a small tattoo on her ring finger.
== Search Efforts ==
Three days later, her coworker contacted police when she failed to show up for work for a few days. Authorities conducted a welfare check and found no sign of her.
When Troche-Garcia's family in Mexico was contacted, authorities learned her mother was not actually sick, that Troche-Garcia had not returned to Mexico, and that her family was unaware that she planned to return. She did make a few calls after her disappearance, including calls to an out-of-state phone number.
No evidence was found that her car ever crossed the border into Mexico, or that she took a flight from the local airport, either.
Interviews were conducted with her ex-boyfriend, his family, and her friends and family.
Her mother Maria has traveled to Asheboro several times, meeting with detectives at the Asheboro Police Department in search of answers. She hopes a $7,000 reward for information leading to her daughter's whereabouts will help encourage people to come forward.
In January 2020, detectives gained access to Nancy’s Google account, which showed that she used Google Maps to get to a car dealership in Madison, North Carolina on the day she disappeared. Unfortunately that lead went cold, with nothing of evidentiary value being found at the dealership.
In January 2019, Nancy’s Google account was logged into at a location about 30 miles from her hometown in Mexico where her mother still lived. Detectives pulled up the location on Google maps and found what appeared to be a shack. They contacted authorities in Mexico to check out the location, but had no success.

In considering foul play, I wonder if they've investigated the man she was engaged to and moved to North Carolina with. There were interviews with her ex-boyfriend, friends and family but not there's no mention of her ex-husband and he is never called that either.
