To me, she had said that she was going out with a friend. They were going to go out dancing somewhere, and that the friend was picking her up. It was a girlfriend of hers that she was always with. And they went out, and she just never came back.

So she went out socially the night she disappeared, which is sad, because now I see it like, you know, that was the last time, and I didn't even realize it was going to be the last time.

Initially, when I went to the police department, they're like, hire a private investigator. And I was pretty upset at that and, you know, like, to do your job, you know, because it's not like we can afford to hire anyone. I told them I know my mom is in Jane Doe somewhere. I know my mom would not just come back and not see us or, you know, her mom.

It's so crazy because I had gone into the Jane Doe network year after year, and I had seen the Jane Doe from Black River Falls. And I would always say, no. Age would say like from 20 to 30. My mom was 36. Caucasian. Even though my mom was very light-complected, she was Hispanic. And it also said she had a tattoo of a mushroom. And I was like, my mom didn't have a tattoo.

Come to find out, the tattoo of the mushroom was the imprint of the remains on the mushroom field because that's where she was found. So it had imprinted, I guess, on the skin as she decomposed. And every year I would see it and I'd just keep going, like, no, that's not her.

I've lived my life with an empty piece of me and it's because she's gone, you know. She was very caring, very sweet, very trusting. So I only have memories of her, you know, those moments, the hugs, you know, that So, and she was just always, she was sweet. She was just, you know, a good mom. You know, your mom loves you a certain way.

She disappeared nine months before my mom, in Milwaukee, so close. Wow, I had no idea. The fact that also a mother, also in the same area, they were getting away with murder. Just the fact that there's so many, there's so many out here and so many families too that, like ours, just, you know, we don't know. We just would have to sit here and wonder and hope.
