Missing Since: 2019-09-15 Location: Dallas, Texas
Del Mundo Japor is from the Philippines and lived in Tampa, Florida at the time of her disappearance; she is a naturalized U.S. citizen and had a job as a certified nursing assistant. She was last seen at Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport in Dallas, Texas on September 15, 2019. She had a shoulder bag and a yellow and gray suitcase with wheels. She had flown into DFW from Tampa and was waiting for a connecting American Airlines flight to Cozumel, Mexico, where she planned to take a ten-day vacation. She called her sister in California shortly before 6:00 p.m., asking for help to get a ticket back to Tampa, as she’d changed her mind about going to Mexico. She never boarded her flight to Mexico, never flew back to Tampa and has never been heard from again. Authorities have also not been able to locate her luggage. After reviewing hours of security camera footage at the airport, they saw that at some point Del Mundo Japor no longer had her rolling suitcase, only her shoulder bag. A search of the airport turned up no sign of either of the suitcase or the shoulder bag. Del Mundo Japor’s family members stated she was “on the verge of desperation” at the time of her disappearance and sounded “depressed” and “incoherent”; they are concerned about her mental state. Since her disappearance, her cellular phone and bank account had been inactive. Her case remains unsolved.
