Marta Leticia Panto-Garcia was 16 years old when she was reported missing from the Spring/Oak Ridge North area of Montgomery County, Texas, after her last known contact on February 19, 2022. Her disappearance is recorded in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System the federally supported repository used by law enforcement and families to document and search missing-person cases nationwide.
According to the publicly shared profile information, Marta is a Hispanic/Latina female with black hair and brown eyes, and was described at the time as approximately 4′10″–5′0″ tall and 100–120 pounds. The circumstances documented for the case state that she did not return home and that her last contact occurred on February 19, 2022. These details help define the timeline and appearance information investigators ask the public to keep in mind should anyone recall seeing her around the date she went missing in Spring, Texas.
The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Community members who may have seen Marta on or after February 19, 2022—or who might know anything about where she went or who she was with—are encouraged to share tips with the Sheriff’s Office; prior public bulletins list 936-760-5800 as a contact line for missing-juvenile reports. Even small observations about clothing, companions, transit, or locations in and around Oak Ridge North and Spring can help detectives reconstruct movements and generate leads.
NamUs supports families and investigators with practical tools that can aid cases like Marta’s. Families can work with law enforcement to add photographs and identifiers, and—when appropriate—provide reference DNA to support future comparisons, all at no cost through NamUs-facilitated services. The program’s investigative support team also assists agencies with case reviews and matching across jurisdictions, helping ensure information reaches the right hands if a potential lead emerges elsewhere.
Texas maintains additional statewide resources for missing persons. The Department of Public Safety operates the Missing Persons Clearinghouse and an online bulletin that partners with local agencies to share descriptors and circumstances of missing Texans. These platforms complement NamUs and local law enforcement efforts by expanding public awareness and encouraging timely, detailed tips that can reconnect missing children with their families.Last Seen: Feb 19, 2022
