Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6469) and 10 other sources
Misty Dawn Ortega, a 15-year-old girl, disappeared on August 8, 1995, from Mixon, Texas, along with her 13-year-old sister, Crystal Ortega. The two girls left their family’s home in Troup, Texas, and have not been seen or heard from since. Initially, authorities believed that the sisters might have left voluntarily, but as the years passed without any contact or trace, that theory was reconsidered.

Misty was described as 5'9", weighing about 140 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. She might have been wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses at the time of her disappearance. Misty was last seen wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Her case remains unsolved, and authorities, including the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, continue to investigate, hoping for new leads.

Over time, age-progressed images of both sisters have been created to assist in the search efforts, but no significant developments have emerged. The case has remained cold, but family members and law enforcement continue to seek information regarding their whereabouts.
