Details of Disappearance

Sanchez was last seen in the 1000 block of Againer Avenue in San Antonio, Texas on July 18, 2024. At the time of her disappearance, she was living in her car and about to enter a drug rehabilitation program in Houston, Texas. She has never been heard from again.

Before her disappearance, Chavez had been enrolled in a detox facility, but she left the program with a man she had been staying with. A week later, the man mailed Chavez's belongings, including her family photographs, Social Security card and other items her family doesn't think she would have left behind, to her mother's home. He told her mother that Chavez had left the detox center because she was too embarrassed to continue her treatment.

Chavez's mother believes she may have been a victim of human trafficking. She left behind two young children. Her case remains unsolved.
