- Distinguishing Characteristics Biracial (Caucasian/Hispanic) female. Brown hair, hazel eyes. Figueroa’s nickname is Mo. She has the following tattoos: the letters “EST” on her left wrist, the year “1987” on her right wrist, the name “Jeff” in black cursive lettering on her left shoulder blade, the name “Jan” in black cursive lettering on her right shoulder blade, and three skulls in red and black ink on each of her shoulders.
- Details of Disappearance:
- On May 19, 2015, 28-year-old Figueroa disappeared from her Littlerock, California home. She told her family she was going to Los Angeles for a short trip, but a suspicious text message later claimed she “had to leave.” Her family doesn’t believe it was her.
About a week later, her burgundy 2004 Mercedes Benz (license plate 5DGN895) was found damaged in an abandoned shed. This, along with the fact that she left behind her two-year-old daughter – something she’d never do – suggests something went terribly wrong.
Figueroa had serious problems: She was involved with a gang (AGK), used and sold crystal meth, and had received threats. Her boyfriend, David Nash McKell, was arrested for murder before her disappearance and later convicted of another murder. Police suspect he’s connected to her case, but he’s been uncooperative.
The day she vanished, Figueroa made a $20,000 drug delivery – her last planned job. She was trying to get clean, enter rehab, and start a new life with her daughter. She even had a rehab appointment scheduled.
Both police and her family believe Figueroa was murdered, likely because of her dangerous lifestyle and gang connections. There are even rumors linking her case to the unsolved disappearance of another woman, Michelle Russ, from the same area two years earlier. The case remains unsolved.
