From the first link:
Her ex-boyfriend still has her belongings. Police said she hasn’t used her cellphone or credit cards that might pinpoint her location.

Is the area she was last seen in a well known place, popular spot to hang out? I’m just wondering why she chose that place to go hang out at (as a visitor to the city)? Was it somewhere her & her ex boyfriend went earlier during her trip? Could she have possibly met someone earlier & decided she wanted to see them again before leaving to fly home?
 
Castillo said she was able to get into her niece's T-Mobile account and determine that Botello used her phone at 4 a.m.

“And from there she just never came back,” Castillo said. “And that’s around the same time also that we saw the last cell phone activity, last time her debit card was ever used.”

Has it been shared where her debit card was used last at?
 
I wish I could share in their optimism. She missed a flight, hasn't been seen or heard from, her belongings are at her ex's house, no phone or banking activity...

Always, LE knows more than us but still... :(

Some snippets from the article:

[...]

Lt. Eric Roman said he believes Botello is alive, and he pleaded with the public to call in any information that may help police find her.

[...]

Police said last week they were looking for a person of interest, Charles Beltran, in connection with Botello’s disappearance. Beltran is not considered a suspect, but police want to speak with him because he was the last person seen with Botello, Roman said.

Really wish I knew what leads them to believe that
 
Let me ask a couple questions to clear up my thoughts..

Are the Ex and Beltran different people?

Was she staying at Ex's home? Ex has her personal property?

Is Beltran missing or in hiding? Does he have family looking for him? (shutting down SM would lead more to being in hiding yet IG is up, I don't have any other SM links)

Is the residence she was staying at public info?

Thanks

Local Dallasite - I can’t imagine many people going out that late in Deep Ellum on a Sunday night during a pandemic. My guess is she met the POI on Tinder or something and that was the decided meeting place. I can’t imagine choosing to go there alone on a Sunday at midnight. It’s definitely still a sketchy area to be by yourself that late as a woman.

Surely the ex-boyfriend would know that, did he try to discourage her from going?

I have the same question- is Beltran the ex-boyfriend? The article says Beltran moved, but that Marisela's things are at his house? If true, I think we know what the ending is going to be in this case, MOO.
