Desperate Search for Missing Chula Vista Grandmother Continues in Tijuana

Elizabeth-Vazquez-Williams-missing-Chula-Vista-mother-2.jpg


[...]

Vazquez Williams, who is a grandmother of three young children, was last seen on Aug. 16.

Her son said that Vazquez Williams was not used to driving in Tijuana but on that day, she put on a brave face and crossed the border to visit a friend. Since then, her cellphone has not been in service and her social media accounts have been inactive. Days later, her car was found abandoned on a Tijuana street.

... worried because his mother’s bank account was riddled with strange purchases and funds were emptied.

[...]

“In Tijuana, we’ve gone to the police, have shared posts about her missing in various Facebook pages,” the woman’s son said.

Meanwhile in San Diego, the family continues to walk through streets to pass out her photograph but as of now, they have no leads. They say it’s as if the mother was swallowed by the earth.

Elizabeth, who is affectionately called “Liz,” is described as a loving grandmother who is devoted to her family. Her family awaits for anyone with information on her disappearance to come forward.

How awful.
The bank account withdrawals are very concerning. ugh.

Who is the friend she visited, or was to visit, and what does the friend say?

I wouldn't drive into Tijuana if you paid me.
I went once, with a male friend, took the bus from the border, and stuck to the main streets. That was some 20 years ago, and even then there were warnings not to frequent the outlying streets and areas.

I know we can’t link it, but I hope it’s ok to say this much:
when I googled “elizabeth vasquez williams missing” I see a certain online fund raising platform page set up by her son. A bit more detail there, but not a whole lot more.
Very concerning.

What was so important that she had to “put on a brave face” and cross over to Mexico?
Was this friend insisting on her coming to visit and why? Especially during covid?
