Melissa Morales, 27, has been missing from her Dogwood Drive home since early morning on Dec. 11. She left her home unannounced and drove off in a 2002 black Honda CR-V that belonged to her mother.
We’re concerned because she’s not mentally stable,” Rosenberg Police Lt. Margaret Hedden, head of the department’s Criminal Investigation Division, said Monday.
The car Morales left in had only enough gas to go about 100 miles, Hedden said. The woman didn’t take a purse or money with her.
Melissa Morales is described as follows:
- Hispanic woman
- brown hair
- brown eyes
- about 5 foot, 7 inches tall
- weighing 200-225 pounds
- Last seen in a 2002 black Honda CR-V
Heddon said Morales family members distributed fliers about the missing woman as they traveled to Austin recently. A gas station operator along the way thought he recognized the woman from a picture on the flier. Otherwise, however, there have been few leads in the case.
Having recently heard of the disappearance, Tim Miller of Texas EquuSearch said that he was more than willing to help out in the search for Melissa Morales.
