Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17827) and 4 other sources
Tina Ann Velasco, aged 36, was last seen in Houston, Texas, on January 18, 2011. At the time of her disappearance, Tina was reportedly living in Houston and might have been homeless. She maintained regular contact with her family, particularly her mother, whom she would call every month and during holidays. However, after mid-January 2011, all communication ceased, and her family has not heard from her since.

Tina Velasco is described as a petite Hispanic woman, approximately 4'9" tall, weighing around 158 pounds. She has distinguishing tattoos, including a deck of cards with the name "Joel" on her shoulder and a Tweety Bird tattoo. She was last known to be in the company of an adult male companion named John Castillo, and it is believed she may still be in the local area around Houston. Despite multiple years passing, her case remains unsolved, and her family continues to seek answers.

Investigations have so far yielded few leads, and law enforcement urges anyone with information to come forward. The Houston Police Department is handling the case, but as of the most recent updates, there have been no significant developments. Tina's case highlights the ongoing challenge of finding missing persons, especially those who may have lacked a stable living situation.
