<<On December 26, 1998, 34 year old Betty Vigil Garcia was last seen by her mother inside the “Drift In Lounge,” located near Coors Road SW and Bridge Road SW in Albuquerque. Weeks later, Betty’s mother reported her missing to police. Foul play is suspected.>>

I find this odd. Her mother saw her in the lounge. I believe I read that she "may have been in the company of two men". She waited weeks to report her missing?
Strange IMO

I think a few weeks is actually pretty fast to report an adult missing, especially if families don't live very close to each other.

I do wish this case had more attention.
