Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51682) and 2 other sources
In the early summer of 2018, a young woman named Dora Letecia Xep Castro vanished from North Bergen, New Jersey, leaving behind a void of information and a family grappling with her absence. At eighteen years old, Dora, a Hispanic female with black hair just past her shoulders and brown eyes, was last seen on June 4th of that year. She was described as being approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 112 pounds. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are intertwined with that of her younger brother, as they were together when they were last seen.

Dora and her brother had been staying with a family member in the Hudson County town of North Bergen when they both left the residence on that Monday in early June. What was expected to be a temporary departure soon turned into a distressing mystery. A full week passed with no contact from either sibling, prompting concerned family members to officially report them as missing to the North Bergen Police Department on June 11, 2018. The lack of specific details regarding their plans or intended destination has made the investigation particularly challenging for law enforcement.

The days turned into weeks, and the weeks into years, yet there has been no definitive public update on Dora's whereabouts or the circumstances of her disappearance. The case, registered under NamUs case number MP51682 and NCMEC case number 1336113, remains a painful and unresolved issue for her loved ones. The absence of any clear leads or information shared with the public has left a shroud of uncertainty over the fate of the young woman and her brother. The overview of this case is one of sudden and unexplained departure, where two siblings seemingly vanished together without a trace, leaving investigators with limited information to pursue and a family holding onto hope for their return.
