Is there anything else known about this case? What about the brother? What if anything does he have to say? Was she dating? Where was she working? Stalker? Any friends with info? So many questions.

Details of Disappearance
Henderson-Ortiz was last known to be in Moriarty, New Mexico in early 2006. Her mother spoke to her on the phone on January 16, and Henderson-Ortiz said she was going to California to visit her brother. She has never been heard from again. The police would not accept a missing persons report for a year.
Few details are available in Henderson-Ortiz's case. She hasn't applied for a new driver's license or identification card since before her disappearance. Albuquerque, New Mexico are assisting the investigation.
