Juanita Sarabia last spoke to her 21-year-old daughter, Lucero, at 2 a.m. Friday.
When she awakened later that morning, her daughter, who is eight months pregnant, hadn't arrived home.
That's when panic struck Sarabia.
This was the first time the daughter she calls "Princess" had been gone so long. She always called to check on her young sons, said Sarabia, 45.
She has left 28 messages on her daughter's cell phone. So far they have gone unanswered.
"That's why I know something's wrong," Sarabia said. "She wouldn't do this to me."
Saturday she placed a missing person's report with the San Antonio Police Department.
Sunday, Sarabia, family members and friends taped fliers written on with pink marker inside store windows along Callaghan and Ingram roads, where a witness said her daughter was last seen at about 6 a.m. Friday.
Lucero "Princess" Sarabia, is 5-foot-1 and has light brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair. She was wearing a brown leather jacket, pink sweater, blue jeans and brown boots.
Sarabia said a nurse at an El Paso hospital gave her daughter her nickname. When she was pregnant she was sure she was going to give birth to a boy. When Sarabia asked to hold her son, the nurse told her "you have a precious little princess." The name stuck. The little girl wrote Princess on her school papers until teachers asked her mother to correct her.
"She's still more well known by that name," Juanita Sarabia said as a male relative hugged her Sunday night before leaving to tape up more fliers.
Sarabia said she's trying not to think about anything negative, but if something has happened, she doesn't want to wait to find out.
The family planned this morning to scour creeks and streets in the area where she was last seen.
Anyone with knowledge of Lucero Sarabia's whereabouts can call the San Antonio Police Missing Person's unit at (210) 207-7662.
