Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14686) and 3 other sources
Beatriz Adriana Wheeler, a 33-year-old mother of three from Immokalee, Florida, was last seen on January 19, 2005. On that day, she left her home with a male acquaintance, Jesus Cruz-Perez, to attend an auto auction in Fort Myers. She was driving in a green 1999 Ford Expedition, a vehicle registered to Cruz-Perez. Around 6:00 p.m., Beatriz called her sister to inform her she was on her way home, but she never arrived and has not been heard from since. Her disappearance was not reported until five days later, raising further concerns.

Wheeler's case is considered highly suspicious, and both she and Cruz-Perez have been missing under questionable circumstances. Investigators suspect foul play, though neither Beatriz nor Cruz-Perez has been located. Beatriz was last seen wearing blue jeans and a blue sweatshirt, and she is known to have a butterfly tattoo on her neck and a Tweety Bird tattoo on her abdomen. Despite efforts by law enforcement, her case remains unsolved, leaving her family in search of answers nearly two decades later.

Authorities continue to investigate, but both individuals' whereabouts remain unknown.
