On September 22, 2015, 15-year-old Eva Alejandra Lopez was last seen at her home in Winchester, Tennessee. At the time of her disappearance, the Hispanic female with brown hair and green eyes was described as being 5'4' tall and weighing 150 pounds. An Endangered Child Alert was issued for Eva by the Winchester Police Department. Authorities believe that she may have been in the company of an adult male. It is also thought that they may have traveled to Mexico.
Concerns for Eva's safety were heightened by the belief that she was with Avaro Gamez Martinez, who was 26 years old at the time. Martinez was reportedly wanted on six counts of aggravated statutory rape. The circumstances surrounding her leaving and her exact direction of travel were unknown, although the possibility of her being in Mexico was a primary focus for investigators.
The investigation into Eva's disappearance has been ongoing since 2015, with law enforcement agencies and organizations like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children continuing to seek information. Despite the passage of time, her case remains an active and unsolved endangered missing person case. The central focus of the investigation has been the connection to Avaro Gamez Martinez and the strong possibility that Eva was taken out of the country. The lack of concrete leads has made the search for Eva challenging, leaving her family and community with unanswered questions and enduring hope for her safe return.Last Seen: Sep 22, 2015
