Family Says Missing 24-Year-Old Sydney Marquez Found Safe in Houston

Investigators are reviewing transit surveillance to reconstruct her movements after the December disappearance.

Overview

  • Relatives announced the development on Instagram and did not share details about her condition or the circumstances of her recovery.
  • Marquez was last seen around midnight on Dec. 11 in southwest Houston, with surveillance showing her walking away after leaving a friend’s car near the 9100 block of Bellaire Boulevard.
  • Witnesses told her father she may have boarded a northbound METRO bus at Gessner Road and Harwin Drive during the early hours she went missing.
  • METRO Police retrieved the relevant bus footage and turned it over to the Houston Police Department, which is leading the case.
  • The search drew support from Texas EquuSearch and immigrant-rights group FIEL, and her father cited a recent mental-health diagnosis while urging attention to the surveillance evidence.
