Found Deceased TX - Marisela Botello, 23, visiting Dallas from Seattle, 5 Oct 2020 *arrest*

[Sincerely]

This does not sound good at all. I agree that it seems odd she would go out alone, but that is coming from me, a socially awkward introvert. Are there any connections between this guy and ex? It doesn’t sound like it since the family seems to believe she didn’t know this guy. What I read it sounds like the guy picked her up but wasn’t in the bar/s? I may have read that wrong? If so, how did she communicate with him? Even Snapchat or What’s App and others, wouldn’t she need to have a starting point of communication before it moved to one of these texting apps (unless they met in person before). Also, what time was the flight the following day? If it was early morning then she needed at least three or four hours to pack and get to airport early enough for checking baggage, security, and boarding even if she wasn’t expecting to sleep that night. Also, she wouldn’t want to arrive at airport intoxicated. Too much thinking on that before even knowing if it was an early flight. I would also check dating apps. Maybe she used visiting her ex to explain why she was going but also planned on meeting someone else she had been talking to? I would check all the different dating apps to see if she was using any of them. Sending prayers for Marisela and family.

Volunteers continue to hold search parties in Deep Ellum on Saturday mornings between 8 and 10 a.m.

Those efforts may of been temporarily suspended.

I went down to Deep Ellum at that time to volunteer and walked the area for close to 90 minutes with out seeing any other volunteers. I did, however, get a walking view of the entire area several times and noted the following:

- The venue that she was last seen is small and consists of a row of vintage video games and an equally small, very basic bar. It really does not seem to be the kind of venue that a woman dressed for dancing would initially go to- at all.

Rather, it seems to a be place to escape from throbbing music and have a conversation, or be told to meet at because it is small and thus easy to find people in.

There is a dance club next door and several far more comprehensive bar venues with in a block. Perhaps she went to one of these first?

- Though there is yet another modest gentrification effort going on two blocks or so away, the area where she was last seen is old school Deep Ellum in regards to venues and some homeless.

- In contrast to other parts of the area, the block has several small commercial parking lots. Though these may fill up fast and thus she could have walked to further parking, it is also possible that she got into a car close to the bar.

So the guy she left with and his car are missing as well? Any place they could have gotten into an accident around there?

Thank you for your kindness, and time in searching for Marisela. You're a good soul.

JMO she either didn't know this was a hole with small bar, and video games or somehow "communicated" with this guy, and wanted to wear that dress. I'd be the first to say ex knew of this guy or whatever he is in to, but authorities had to have checked.

Lastly that gentrification #$i% works my last nerve. Yeah, yeah save the neighborhood
. In my experience some filthy rich people get richer while in the process of knocking buildings down. Leaving homeless stuck there's always trouble with an unsuspecting non streetwise person getting rolled or worse.

Hopefully the POI is located quickly and the needed search warrants don't take long to obtain. I hope she's okay somewhere, but obviously this is a very concerning case.

If only psychopaths didn't exist. Please may I be 100% wrong here.

There’s an interesting comment from a KH one day ago. I couldn’t find a source for the information.

I would go for the second option. On her own, I dont think she would have went into the place once she saw that it was a hole in the wall featuring a handful of vintage video games.

Deep Ellum is a historical district with the buildings dating to the 1930s. As a result, city blocks in the area are small. Far more comprehensive bar venues including some with third story roof top sitting areas are just minutes away- even in heels. Likewise, there is a dance club right next door. Though business maybe relatively slow due to Covid, all the bars seemed to be keeping their 0200 am closing times.

My guess is that even on a Monday night, there would be enough pedestrians out that Marisela would have felt comfortable exploring around the corner had she felt that video game bar was a mistaken impression.

In the end, I strongly suspect that she went somewhere else first, and then was brought there. Or, she as you stated, had communicated with somebody and was told to meet there.

Lastly that gentrification #$i% works my last nerve.

I have a mix of feelings about gentrification. I cant stand "pimp this lot" total tear downs. I like tasteful extensive remodels that keep the historical character.

Sometimes I wish my very property rights friendly state would restrict total tear downs. Then again, when I moved to California, frustrated owners to told me that their rights to their own property had been legislated / regulated away.

No easy answers.....

Last photo of woman who mysteriously vanished during night out


Since her mysterious disappearance, a photo has emerged of the outfit she was last seen wearing while visiting Dallas from Seattle to see an ex-boyfriend.
In the photo she is wearing a purple dress while snapping a picture with her mobile phone while standing in front of a mirror.

Ms Castillo told news station WFAA that CCTV at 1.15am on October 5 shows her leaving a bar with a man, but police are yet to verify the footage is of her.

Snipped. Wasn't it Sunday night?

Yikes, it could have been Sunday.

I don't have enough direct knowledge of Deep Ellum night life to give an estimate on how busy a Sunday night is down there.

From the article:

[...]

"The reality is, I believe if the ex-boyfriend had anything to do with Marsela's disappearance, he would not be calling her parents and raising the alarm that she's missing," the former prosecutor added.

[...]

"I don't know why we're finding out more from the family than we're finding out from police. I mean, if she's caught on video leaving the arcade after one hour with a guy that is not the boyfriend ... it's not rocket science," Grace said. "There's got to be cameras inside that arcade. Why aren't we hearing about who this guy is?"

1 Month After Marisela Botello Last Seen In Deep Ellum, Detectives Change Status To 'Endangered Missing'

One month since anyone has seen Marisela Botello, and just days after detectives identified Charles Beltran as a person of interest in the case, police have changed her case to from “want to locate,” to “endangered missing.”

A “want to locate” is when a family member wants to find someone they were unsuccessful with contacting, so they file a want to locate report with the police. “Endangered missing,” means law enforcement suspects the missing person is endangered or the victim of criminal activity.
