Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP72816) and 5 other sources
Valeria Ingorvaia, 39, went missing on November 28, 2019, after attending a Thanksgiving gathering with family in Fort Worth, Texas. She was last seen leaving the event and was believed to be en route to her home in San Antonio, Texas, driving a black four-door truck. Ingorvaia's phone indicated that she had been traveling along Highway 173 between Hondo and Castroville the following morning when her location tracker was turned off, an unusual action for her. This was the last known trace of her before her disappearance.

At the time of her disappearance, Ingorvaia was reportedly in the company of Chance Stelzig, a man who was later implicated in a murder just days before she vanished. Stelzig, along with two others, was accused of beating a man to death with a baseball bat in San Antonio on November 17, 2019. While Stelzig has been identified as a person of interest in Ingorvaia's case, authorities have not officially linked her disappearance to the murder. Her family, who did not know Stelzig, have expressed concerns, noting that she was a mother of five and would not have abandoned her children willingly.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Fort Worth and San Antonio police departments, are involved in the investigation. Despite ongoing efforts and searches, including involvement from organizations like Texas EquuSearch, her case remains unsolved. Authorities continue to treat her case as a potential foul play scenario, though no definitive conclusions have been drawn.
