Yolanda Coronado, a 34-year-old woman from Carlsbad, New Mexico, was last seen on February 10, 1996. She worked as a truck driver and was known to maintain regular contact with her family despite being on the road often. On the day of her disappearance, Yolanda had a minor argument with her husband, Ernest Urquidez, and left their home. Her husband claimed that she had likely gone to El Paso, Texas, where she had connections through her job.
He told authorities that he went to El Paso, found her truck at a hotel near a truck stop, and returned to Carlsbad without her.
Following her disappearance, there was no activity on her bank account or Social Security, raising concerns of foul play. Additionally, Urquidez sold all of Yolanda's belongings shortly after she vanished, further complicating the investigation. Despite efforts to search for her, Yolanda has not been heard from since, and her case remains unsolved. Investigators suspect foul play, and her husband remains a person of interest, though no charges have been filed.
The case has gone cold over the years, with few developments or leads. However, authorities continue to seek information that might provide answers about what happened to Yolanda. Her family and the local community are still hopeful for a resolution.Last Seen: Feb 10, 1996
