Katelyn "Kate" Vara, a 26-year-old woman from San Antonio, Texas, went missing on August 6, 2024. She was last seen leaving her home in the 600 block of Maria Elena on the west side of San Antonio, reportedly heading to a medical appointment, but she never returned. Kate's disappearance has deeply concerned her family, particularly because it is unusual for her not to be in contact.
Her mother, Valerie Mendoza, has been actively appealing for any information regarding her whereabouts, as Kate's four-year-old son frequently asks about her absence, adding urgency to the family's search efforts.
Kate has a diagnosed medical condition, which makes her situation even more concerning. She is described as being 5 feet tall, weighing about 108 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She has several distinctive tattoos, including the name "Valerie" on the right side of her stomach, "Vara" on her left arm, and "James" in red ink on her right cheek. When she was last seen, she was wearing a grey UTSA shirt, khaki pants, and white shoes.
The San Antonio Police Department and the non-profit organization Search & Support San Antonio have been involved in the search for Kate, encouraging anyone with information to reach out. The family has also raised funds to offer a reward for any information leading to her safe return, emphasizing their hope to be reunited with her and bring closure to her young son.
