Houston teen missing after eight months
Published: Nov. 23, 2009 at 2:33 PM

HOUSTON, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Houston family members say they're preparing to spend Christmas without a teenage daughter they believe is being held against her will.

Jose Rodriguez's 14-year-old daughter Nereyda disappeared eight months ago, with her last communication coming in the form of a phone call in which said she wanted to come home but was cut off when someone grabbed the phone away, KTRK-TV, Houston, reported Monday.

The broadcaster said there's evidence she's been kidnapped by a man she met over the Internet, and a volunteer with the Laura Recovery Center, Priscilla Navarro, has helped track down new pictures of Nereyda. She has also reportedly contacted someone who said they saw a girl like Nereyda being pulled into a Pasadena, Texas, apartment building.

Telling KTRK-TV that authorities don't seem motivated to find the girl, Navarro said, "If it was a rich white kid from (affluent Houston neighborhood) River Oaks, they would be really looking because I've seen it. I've seen it happen."

A Houston police spokesperson told the station they could not confirm where the investigation is and refused to comment on Navarro's claim that race plays a role in their efforts to find missing children.

That link has been removed, but she is still listed in NamUs under this link:

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/8432/0/

The name of the man she is believed to be with is in the NamUs listing and I believe it is him in a picture with her on the Awareness for Nereyda Rodriguez (Missing Youth) Facebook group page.

At least they do know that guy's full name...I wonder what has happened to Nereyda and where she is now.

I don't understand why Charley Project has her listed as 6 foot 200 lbs while namus says 5'4" 99 lbs??????
