Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP88751)
Bernandina Bandian, a 55-year-old woman, was last seen on December 18, 2016, in Spring, Texas. That morning, at approximately 9:30 a.m., her roommate dropped her off at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in The Woodlands, Texas, to attend a church service. However, by the end of the service, she was no longer there and has not been seen since. At the time of her disappearance, Bandian was a Filipino national working as a maid in the United States on a temporary work visa, which was set to
expire in early January 2017.
There are no reports of any medical conditions that might have contributed to her disappearance. Authorities suspect that Bandian may have chosen to leave voluntarily to avoid returning to the Philippines when her visa expired. It's believed that she might still be in the Houston area, potentially continuing to work under an alias. Despite these theories, her case remains unresolved, and law enforcement continues to seek any information that might provide clarity on her whereabouts.Last Seen: Dec 18, 2016
