Lucero Sarabia, a 21-year-old woman from San Antonio, Texas, went missing on November 26, 2004. At the time of her disappearance, Lucero was eight months pregnant and had attended a Thanksgiving party with family members and friends. During the party, an altercation occurred between Lucero and another guest, which led to her being asked to leave. A man named Richard Anthony Chabes, who was also at the party, offered to give her a ride home, which she accepted.
Lucero called her mother between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. that night, informing her that she was at Chabes's apartment and that he planned to drive her home shortly. However, she never arrived home, and this was the last time anyone heard from her. Chabes later claimed that Lucero had decided to walk home from his apartment at around 6:00 a.m. instead of allowing him to drive her, though this explanation has been viewed with suspicion.
Several days after Lucero’s disappearance, Chabes abruptly moved out of his apartment. Investigators discovered blood traces on the walls and carpet of his apartment, though there wasn’t enough blood to suggest a fatal injury. Despite this evidence, Chabes was reportedly cleared as a suspect, and he relocated to Indiana. Lucero’s case remains unsolved, and foul play is suspected, especially given that she was close to giving birth and had two children already, whom she was known to be devoted to.
The mystery surrounding Lucero Sarabia's disappearance has left her family without answers for nearly two decades. The case remains open, and law enforcement continues to seek any information that could lead to resolving this long-standing case.Last Seen: Nov 26, 2004
