Reina Mendez Marroquin, age 44, was last seen shortly after midnight on January 1, 2011, in Fort Pierce, Florida. She had just finished work at a local Kentucky Fried Chicken and was seen leaving with Rene Jose Marroquin, her daughter's estranged husband or boyfriend. Reina, who was not related to Rene despite sharing the same last name, relied on him for transportation to and from work.
According to reports, Reina wanted Rene out of her life due to his history of violent behavior towards her.
After Reina's disappearance, Rene also vanished, and authorities consider him a person of interest in the case. The van Rene was driving was later found abandoned at a friend's home, with its license plate switched to an expired one. Authorities believe Rene may have fled to the San Antonio, Texas area, but his whereabouts remain unknown.
Reina’s disappearance is considered suspicious, and she never returned to collect her final paycheck. Despite several searches and investigations, no trace of Reina has been found, and the case remains unsolved.Last Seen: Jan 1, 2011
