Missing Person Photos
A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are unknown. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2 to 5 percent of missing children in Europe.
By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends.
A number of organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and images of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
Resources for Missing Persons
According to current statistics, 4,000 people in the United States go missing every day.
Sometimes a child suddenly vanishes from the bus stop or the local park or even from their own yard or bedroom. Or a teenager doesn�t return home after a walk to the neighborhood grocery store or a bike ride or a party with friends.
Other times, an adult is mysteriously absent from their job or neighbors haven�t seen them for several days, and family and friends haven�t heard from them either.

Photos of some of her tattoos are posted with this summary. Her ears, nose, upper lip and eyebrow are all pierced. Ingorvaia may use the last name Perez. She wears eyeglasses.
Details of Disappearance Ingorvaia was last seen in Fort Worth, Texas on November 28, 2019. She had attended her family's Thanksgiving meal and was heading back to her own home in San Antonio, Texas, in a black four-door truck. The Google Maps app on her phone indicates she was on Highway 173, between Hondo and Castroville, at 10:22 a.m. on November 29 when she stopped and turned her location tracker off, which is uncharacteristic of her behavior. She has never been heard from again.
Ingorvaia was last known to have been with a man named Chance Stelzig. A photo of Stelzig is posted with this summary. In March 2020, he was charged with murder; he and two other suspects allegedly beat a man to death with a baseball bat on November 17, 2019, less than two weeks prior to Ingorvaia's disappearance. The murder, which took place in San Antonio, may have been a robbery gone wrong.
It's not clear whether Ingorvaia's disappearance is related to the previous murder, but her mother and sister stated that prior to Ingorvaia's disappearance, they did not know Stelzig or that he was with her in Fort Worth. He is considered a person of interest in Ingorvaia's , but hasn't officially been named a suspect.
Both Fort Worth and San Antonio police are investigating Ingorvaia's disappearance. She left behind five children. Her remains unsolved and foul play has not been ruled out.
