On January 18, 2019, 59-year-old Regina Ann Orozco vanished from her residence in Roebuck, South Carolina. At the time of her disappearance, she was living with her youngest daughter and son-in-law on Becknell Drive. A note was reportedly left behind, suggesting she was traveling to Seattle to meet a friend and possibly embark on an Alaskan cruise. However, the circumstances surrounding her departure raised immediate concerns for some of her family members.
Regina did not own a vehicle or a cell phone, and while she took her purse and identification, her bank card was left behind. This detail, coupled with a lack of financial stability, made the prospect of such a long and expensive trip seem unlikely to some of her children.
The official narrative of Regina Orozco's disappearance is complicated by differing perspectives within her own family. Two of her older daughters, Michelle and Gina Orozco, have publicly stated their belief that their mother did not write the note found at the home. They are adamant that their mother, who they say was not financially independent, would not have been able to afford a trip to Alaska. Furthermore, they contend that she did not have any acquaintances in Alaska. These daughters have expressed their belief that their mother is deceased and have been actively seeking answers regarding her fate. They have also indicated that there is a division among the siblings concerning their mother's disappearance, alleging that their brother and youngest sister have not been involved in the search efforts.
The investigation into Regina Orozco's whereabouts has been handled by the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office. Despite the passage of time, there has been limited media coverage of her case, which her older daughters feel has hindered the investigation. They have actively tried to bring more attention to their mother's story, hoping that increased public awareness might encourage law enforcement to look more closely at the circumstances of her disappearance and to explore all possible avenues for answers. The case remains a painful and unresolved mystery for those who continue to search for Regina, a woman who seemingly vanished, leaving behind a few puzzling clues and a family divided by questions and grief.Last Seen: Jan 18, 2019
