Mary Angela Gallegos, age 50, was last seen on September 2, 1985, in Dallas, Texas. On that day, she boarded a plane bound for El Paso, Texas. Following her arrival, she was believed to have associated with migrant workers in the area. However, after this, she vanished, and her whereabouts remain unknown. Authorities have speculated that foul play might have been involved in her disappearance.

Gallegos is described as a Caucasian woman, standing 5'4" tall and weighing between 130 and 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She had noticeable burn scars that covered two-thirds of the inside of her left leg and was known to sometimes use the first name "Rena" or the surname "Garcia." Despite investigations, no major breakthroughs have been made in her case.

Both the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Northglenn Police Department in Colorado are involved in the investigation, but so far, few details have emerged regarding what happened to her after she was last seen.
