Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13473) and 12 other sources
Vanessa Reed, a 24-year-old woman, was last seen on June 13, 2006, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At the time of her disappearance, she was living in a motel and struggling with addictions to heroin and crack cocaine. She was also reportedly involved in prostitution. On the day she disappeared, Vanessa was last seen walking away from the motel following an argument with her sister. She has not been heard from since.

Vanessa is one of several women reported missing in the Albuquerque area between 2001 and 2006, many of whom were involved in similar circumstances, raising concerns about possible connections to larger criminal activities. However, investigators have not confirmed whether her case is related to other disappearances in the area.

Vanessa is described as a Caucasian female, 5'4" tall, weighing between 145 to 175 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She has several distinguishing tattoos, including the name "Amy" on her neck, a heart on her right hand, and the initials "EC" on her left ankle. Her case remains unsolved, and she is classified as endangered missing.

Authorities continue to search for answers in Vanessa’s disappearance, urging anyone with information to contact the Albuquerque Police Department.
