Description

Following two trips to Houston to represent missing persons from San Antonio and surrounding counties, the families involved and affected in San Antonio requested the National Missing Person's Day be held right here in our city of San Antonio.
Because many families could not travel to Houston, we decided to follow the request and hold an event here in San Antonio on February 3rd, 2024.


We are grateful for the generous support of the Red Cross San Antonio, which hosts our event in their beautiful facility in downtown San Antonio.


Families of the missing and murdered participate equally in the planning and efforts to bring the San Antonio community and authorities together.
We invite you to join us as we advocate and support the families of missing loved ones and victims of unsolved crimes.
This event is dedicated to displaying their cases, raising awareness of their missing loved one, and keeping their name and case in the public eye.


As part of the program, agencies and organizations will present their resources and support to families and the public.
Families, media, and attendees are invited and encouraged to stay for interviews and refreshments.Hands-on activities will be provided as well as the opportunity to interact with therapy dogs.Additionally, Guardian House Counseling will be present on site and volunteer their services.As of today, we are hopeful that local law enforcement will follow our invitations and attend our planned round table.

Speakers: Paula Martinez - Advocate for missing persons and victims of crimes, Search & Support San Antonio

Natalie Lopez

More speakers will be updated shortly.
