The parents of missing Texas A&M alumna Sydney Marquez say new footage shows the missing 24-year-old near a Houston hotel before she vanished.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Marquez was last seen in southwest Houston’s Chinatown district on December 11, near a shopping center in the 9100 block of Bellaire Blvd.
Her father told News Nation that security footage showed her around 150 yards from a hotel, after she traveled from El Paso to Houston, to meet up with a friend.
“Every indication shows that she was heading back to her hotel,” Raul Marquez, Sydney’s father, said.
“Her phone’s there, her iPad’s there, her class ring is there, her clothing is there. There is just no explanation why she didn’t make it back to her hotel.”
Now, according to Raul, new security footage showed Sydney around 150 feet from a hotel he had been staying at.
“She was trying to get to our hotel. But for some reason or another, she kept going westbound on Harwin (Drive). That’s the last footage we have.”
Family members said Sydney suffers from mental health issues had been off her medication when she walked away. Police said her car was later found on the city’s southwest side, near the Chinatown district.
Raul Marquez said she had been in a diverse area of town and people may be afraid of coming forward, due to their immigration status.
“If you see my daughter, if she’s endangered. Please don’t stay quiet,” he said. “If you see something, if you know something, please say something. I miss my daughter. She needs to come home.”
Sydney recently graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in neuroscience. She’s described as standing 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing around 120 pounds. She has short reddish, brown hair, wears glasses and has a four-leaf clover tattoo on her left wrist.
Houston police are urging anyone with information to contact them at 832-394-1840 or Texas Equusearch at 281-309-9500.
