The backstory:

Marquez, a former Texas A&M student from El Paso, disappeared while visiting friends in the area.

Her father said the car Marquez had been using was found abandoned along Bellaire Boulevard with the keys still inside on Dec. 11. Her cellphone was also left behind, something her family says was completely out of character.

She had last been seen on the night of Dec. 16 at a bus stop along South Gessner Road.

Her family traveled to Houston from El Paso to help with the search.
