Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP10135) and 2 other sources
Teresa Ann Barreras, aged 26 at the time of her disappearance, was last seen on May 17, 1987, in Downey, California. Described as a white female, she stood 6 feet tall and weighed approximately 200 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Teresa was known to wear prescription eyeglasses and had distinctive tattoos, including "Mom" on her left shoulder and a butterfly on her right shoulder.

The last known contact with Teresa occurred when she called her family, informing them that she was traveling with her husband. They mentioned they might be passing through Arizona on their way to Mexico. After that, Teresa vanished without a trace. Her family reported her missing four years later, in 1991, after they lost all communication with her.

Despite the lengthy time that has passed, Teresa's case remains open, and there are ongoing efforts to locate her. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the case, and they urge anyone with information to come forward. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are still unclear, leaving her family and friends searching for answers.
