Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6468) and 10 other sources
Crystal Lynn Ortega, age 13, was last seen on August 8, 1995, in Mixon, Texas, along with her 15-year-old sister, Misty Ortega. The two sisters left their family home in Troup, Texas, and have not been heard from since. Initially, authorities suspected that the girls may have left voluntarily, but as the years have passed without any contact, this theory has been reconsidered, and their case is now classified as endangered missing.

At the time of her disappearance, Crystal was 5'4" tall, weighed approximately 130 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes. She may have been wearing glasses or contact lenses. Both girls were wearing t-shirts, shorts, and sneakers when they disappeared. Despite efforts by law enforcement and family members to find them, no significant leads have surfaced over the years.

The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate their case, and their details are listed with national missing person databases, with updated age-progressed images to aid in their identification.
