- Details of Disappearance:
- Angelica disappeared from Temple, Texas on July 14, 1985. The last time anyone saw her, between 5:00 and 5:30 pm, she was in a beat-up, multicolored 1977 Chevrolet pickup truck (red, white, and blue) with a man and woman. This was just two blocks from her grandmother’s house.
The day before, a neighbor saw someone in a blue car try to give Angelica a ride as she pushed her niece in a stroller. Angelica refused.
A convenience store clerk in San Antonio (150 miles away) claimed to have seen a girl resembling Angelica several times after her disappearance. A man always dropped her off, and he’d wait across the street while she went inside. The clerk tried to stop the girl once, but the man intervened. This account isn’t confirmed.
Police investigated two men:
* **David Elliot Penton:** He’s in prison for murdering several girls in Texas and Ohio. His cellmates said he confessed to Angelica’s disappearance, but he hasn’t been charged.
* **Ramiro Rubi Ibarra:** He was convicted of murdering a 16-year-old girl in 1987. There’s no evidence linking him to Angelica.Angelica’s disappearance is unsolved, and police believe foul play was involved.
