Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP35938) and 7 other sources
Eva Annette Serna-Barela, a 52-year-old woman from Las Cruces, New Mexico, was last seen on November 6, 2015. Standing 5'1" and weighing between 170 and 190 pounds, she had brown hair and brown eyes, with several distinctive tattoos, including a butterfly and rose on her hands, a heart on her foot, and the name "Alvaro" tattooed on her right hand. Eva also had a scar on her right hand.

Eva was known to have lived in both Las Cruces and Hatch, New Mexico, and her family last had contact with her on the day she disappeared. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are unclear, and it is unknown whether foul play was involved. Investigators have classified her as an endangered missing person, and local Crime Stoppers have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information that could lead to her being found.

Despite efforts by law enforcement and her family, no significant leads have emerged, and Eva’s whereabouts remain a mystery. Investigators continue to seek the public's help in providing any information regarding her disappearance.
