On a winter morning in the Bronx, New York, 17-year-old Yoheli Torres Murillo prepared for a regular school day, a routine that would be tragically disrupted. On January 16, 2018, she left her home and was never seen again. At the time of her disappearance, Yoheli was described as a Hispanic female with black hair and black eyes, standing five feet six inches tall and weighing approximately 135 pounds. The day she vanished began like any other, but ended in a mystery that has left her family and community searching for answers. The New York City Police Department's Missing Persons Squad opened an investigation into her case, which was reported a few days after she was last seen. The circumstances surrounding Yoheli's disappearance are distressingly sparse. The known facts are that she departed from her residence with the intention of attending school, but she never arrived. There has been no contact from her since that day, leaving a void of information for investigators and her loved ones. The lack of communication and the sudden nature of her disappearance have created a painful and enduring uncertainty. Her case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), a national database for missing persons, in the hope that it would generate leads. Years have passed since Yoheli Torres Murillo was last seen, and her case remains an open investigation. The initial report of her disappearance, filed on January 19, 2018, launched an ongoing effort by law enforcement to uncover any information that might lead to her whereabouts. Despite the passage of time, the hope of finding answers and bringing her home has not diminished for those who care about her. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance of a teenager on her way to school, a scenario that has left a family in anguish and a community with unanswered questions.
