Family: Missing mother was victim of foul play

When a loved one is missing, family members often hope for the best: A reunion.

The family of Susie Ruiz has long given up on that possibility. They believe someone killed her. Nearly 10 years after Ruiz disappeared, her family has a different hope.

They want to find her remains and give Ruiz a proper burial.

San Antonio police also want to know what happened to Ruiz. If she was a victim of foul play, they also want to know who was responsible.

Courtney Weyrich works with SAPD's Missing Persons Unit, which has been investigating Ruiz's case. She said Ruiz had another stop that weekend.

"She had withdrawn some money to go buy a laptop from a gentleman apparently before heading to that party," Weyrich said. "She has not been seen since. We don't know for sure if she even made it to the party."

"There has not been a day gone by that I don't think about my daughter," said Amelia Wilbur, Ruiz's mother.

She said the hardest part has been seeing Ruiz's heartbroken children cry for their mother.

"I had to sit up nights trying to comfort them," Wilbur said.

"We're not asking for Susie to come back because we know that she is no longer here. We want to give Susie a proper burial. She deserves that," Diaz said.

I wonder if the family knows the man Susie was going to buy from. Has he been investigated and cleared? The news story in this thread is 404/dead link. If like to know if the news released the man's name. Someone knows more than the little bit in this thread.

Details of Disappearance​

Ruiz was last seen at on Military and Commercial Streets San Antonio, Texas at 8:00 p.m. on December 16, 2006. She was driving her 1999 Volvo convertible with the Texas license plate number 908KJJ at the time; the vehicle is forest green with a brown top.

She told her family she was going to purchase a laptop computer from a man and would attend a party afterwards. Authorities believe she actually went to a man's house to illegally purchase the prescription pain medicine Vicodin.

Her family describes her disappearance as completely out of character; they are concerned for her safety and believe foul play was involved in her case.
