Just after midnight on May 10, 1996, a motorist in Brown County, Texas called 911. They report that they’d been driving along Farm Road 2126 when they saw a burning car. It was parked just off the road, near the entrance to a gun range. Minutes later, a second motorist called 911 to report they had spotted a body lying near the burning car. When the fire department and Sheriff’s deputies show up, the car is engulfed in flames. While inspecting the scene, they find the body of 30-year-old Leon Laureles. He had been shot in the back of the head, execution style. Leon’s family believes they know what happened to Leon, but their suspicions have never been confirmed. Anyone with information regarding Leon’s death or events leading up to it can contact the Brown County Sheriff’s Office at 325-646-5510.

At the time of her disappearance, she was 5’2” and weighed approximately 105 lbs. Two of her top right teeth were missing, and she wore eyeglasses.
