Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP39849) and 6 other sources
Miranda Rodriguez, a 24-year-old woman from Houston, Texas, was last seen on August 24, 2017, just before Hurricane Harvey struck the city. Her family reported her missing after she failed to meet them at a designated location during the storm. Despite extensive searches, Miranda was not found, and her case remained unsolved for years.

In July 2022, a man hired to clean a backyard BBQ pit in southeast Houston discovered a burned skeleton inside the pit. The remains were later identified as Miranda Rodriguez's through forensic analysis. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences determined the cause and manner of death as "undetermined," and the investigation is ongoing.

Miranda's family was devastated by the news but found some solace in finally being able to bring her home and hold a proper service for her. They continue to seek answers and justice for Miranda, hoping to uncover what happened to her in those final hours.
