Vanished Without a Trace: 47-Year-Old Woman Goes Missing in El Paso — Authorities Plead for Public's Help

Authorities in El Paso are urgently searching for a 47-year-old woman who mysteriously disappeared in the early hours of April 1, 2025. Sandra Diane Suetos was last seen near her residence in far East El Paso, and officials are growing increasingly concerned about her safety. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office issued a missing persons bulletin late Tuesday afternoon, describing Suetos as approximately 5’8” tall (1.73 meters), weighing around 130 pounds (59 kg), with shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly wearing a gray sweater, a black t-shirt, denim shorts, and blue slip-on shoes. She is also known to wear prescription eyeglasses, which she may have had with her. According to investigators, Suetos left her home near Pebble Hills Boulevard and Tierra Este Road shortly after midnight on April 1. Surveillance footage from a nearby home security camera captured her walking alone along the sidewalk at approximately 12:17 AM. That was the last known sighting. Family members told local reporters that her disappearance is highly unusual and completely out of character. “Sandra doesn’t just vanish,” said her sister, visibly distressed. “She always keeps in touch, especially with our mom. For her to go silent this long… it’s terrifying.” Detectives have canvassed the neighborhood, distributed flyers, and are reviewing additional surveillance footage from nearby homes and businesses. So far, no signs of foul play have been reported, but investigators have not ruled out any possibilities, including abduction or a medical emergency. “We’re doing everything in our power to locate Ms. Suetos,” said Detective Allen Martinez, who is leading the investigation. “But we need the public’s eyes and ears. Someone out there may have seen something and not realized how important it is.” Authorities are urging anyone with information about Sandra Diane Suetos’ whereabouts—or who may have seen her in the early morning hours of April 1—to contact the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office or call Crime Stoppers anonymously. Officials stress that even seemingly minor details could be vital in piecing together her last known movements. As the search intensifies, friends and family are holding out hope for a safe return. Local volunteers have begun organizing search efforts across the desert outskirts and nearby parks. “This city has to come together,” said one neighbor. “Sandra could be anyone’s sister, daughter, or friend. We need to find her.”
