Today is the 25th anniversary of the disappearance of Melissa Montoya. We at the Jicarilla Apache Police Department want to keep her spirit alive and remind the public, her disappearance remains an unsolved case. We would humbly ask that anybody with any unreported information regarding her disappearance to please come forward and share your information with Detective Rafferty here at the Jicarilla Police Department. Please, share our post, get the word across the states. Someone, somewhere has to know something and we ask, share that information with us to help us give closure and answers to family and help bring her home.

It’s been 25 years of no answers, no closure, and no justice for the family and victim.
