TX TX - Monica Carrasco, 16, Balmorhea, 1 Oct 2003

I agree. I always believed that I-10 might be a factor in this investigation.

They are easy to get on and off without anyone being suspicious, even in the middle of the night, in far west Texas. I don't know about the Mexico connection, but it's a good observation, especially with so much sex trafficking we hear about today.

Or maybe she just wanted to be with her dad

2015 article about the case being reopened:

Sheriff Granado has been in office since 2013. He inherited his duties and the case from his predecessor.

"They went to bed about 11 o'clock p.m., that night. At 6 o'clock in the morning, they went to wake her up and she was not there," Granado recalled.

There were no signs of forced entry or foul play. Nothing seemed to be missing, either. That's strange, considering what family members told authorities.

"According to the aunt and uncle, she was an avid runner. She would run, all the time. They think, maybe, she went out running, that morning, and never came back," the sheriff explained.

There's something else that rings somewhat strangely, too.

"According to the facts, she left with only her nightgown and her bible. I think she was even barefooted," Granado added.

Monica's home was a couple of miles outside of town. The terrain out there, is rugged, rocks, cactus and thorn. Not a place you want to venture, at least, not without shoes...

Sylvia Iniguez's daughter was Monica's close friend and classmate.

"We were concerned about her because she was getting really skinny." said Sylvia...

Sylvia says, "I don't think she is (alive). I really don't think she is. And if she is, i hope she's doing a whole lot better."

Could this be the same Monica? This one got married in October 2016 in Honduras. Long shot, I know... but I do see similarities.

I agree, I can also see similarities.

A small-town Texas teen disappeared in the middle of the night, her family still searches

http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/A-small-town-Texas-teen-disappeared-in-the-middle-10996268.php

The last anyone saw of Monica Cassandra Carrasco, she had gone to bed wearing a beige nightgown and had her Bible by the beside.

That was Oct. 1, 2003. The next morning, the then-16-year-old had vanished from her bedroom, with her Bible.

Since then, the family, law enforcement officials and the FBI have been trying to find out where she went and what happened to the girl from Balmorhea, a town of 470 people in far West Texas.
