Annie says Jeanie was struggling with a pill addiction, living in her car, when she was approached by a man several times.
"Offering her God knows what, and my daughter accepted. When she accepted, she accepted this from the devil himself," said Salcido.
Annie says she found out her daughter was in Oklahoma, so she went there and found people that knew her, who said she was being controlled.
Jeanie Chavez, who will be 33 in March, was last seen at her boyfriend’s home on San Antonio’s West Side in July. Her mother, a nurse in California, is raising Chavez’s two girls. They think of their mother every day.

Chavez’s disappearance has also taken a toll on her two young daughters—3-year-old Charlie and 11-year-old Leah.
“It’s hard because I started getting depressed,” Leah said.
Despite the time that has passed, Salcido believes Jeanie is still alive and being controlled. She says detectives also believe her daughter is alive.
“I’m praying, and I just have this feeling that she’s still with us,” Leah said.
