Rena Mae Rincones, a 20-year-old married mother of a one-year-old daughter, was last seen on June 21, 1994, leaving her parents' home in Falfurrias, Texas. It is believed she may have been en route to a residence in the Premont, Texas area. She has not been seen or heard from since that day. Some reports indicate she was traveling to the home she shared with her husband and daughter in Premont, which is about a 15-minute drive from Falfurrias.
A significant and concerning aspect of Rincones's case is the nine-month delay in her being reported missing. Her father, Jose Rincones did not file a missing person report until March 13, 1995. The reasons for this delay are not publicly detailed, but it has been noted as a point of concern.
At the time of her disappearance, Rincones was described as a Hispanic female with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'4" and weighing approximately 115 pounds. She had two distinctive tattoos: the name "John" on her right ankle and "100%" on her left ankle. Some official records list her last name as Longoria.
Investigators believe that Rena Mae Rincones was a victim of foul play and was murdered, although her body has never been recovered. Her case remains an unsolved homicide. Law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Rangers, have investigated her disappearance, and at one point, a reward of up to $6,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest. Despite these efforts, her case has remained cold for decades, leaving her family and community without answers.Last Seen: Jun 21, 1994
