Maria Jimenez-Rodriguez has been missing since June 21, 2018. She would take her daughter to the babysitter's house and seemingly vanish off the face of the planet. What happened to Maria? Did she simply get overwhelmed and leave like the police would suggest? Or is something more sinister at work in our city, ripping away people's loved ones from those who need them the most? Let's talk over the facts of her case and see if we can steer the investigation in the right direction.
