Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5508) and 9 other sources
Carmen Cavallero Garth, 47, was last seen at her residence in Belton, Texas, on July 1, 2007. Neighbors reported hearing a loud commotion in the home before her disappearance, but no one called the police. Despite the disturbing sounds, Carmen vanished without a trace, leaving behind all her personal belongings, including her purse, vehicle, and her three children. It was uncharacteristic for her to leave without warning, as she was known to always be in contact with her family. Her cell phone, which she may have had with her, has not been used since the day she went missing.

Carmen's husband, Grant Garth, reported her missing the next day. He claimed that after a night of drinking, he went to bed around 4:00 a.m. and awoke a few hours later to find her gone. Both Grant and his brother, who lived with the couple at the time, were considered persons of interest in her disappearance. Grant, a convicted sex offender with a history of violence, had faced several legal issues prior to and following Carmen's disappearance. The couple had a troubled relationship, marked by domestic violence, and had pending legal matters against each other at the time of her vanishing.

Authorities suspect foul play, but despite extensive investigations, no one has been charged, and Carmen has never been found. Her family continues to seek answers and justice, hoping for any information that could lead to the resolution of her case. Carmen's disappearance remains an unsolved mystery, and law enforcement continues to encourage anyone with information to come forward.
