Irene Alvarez Porras Missing From Harris County, Texas

The last time anyone saw Irene Porras, 54, was the evening of August 13, 2010.  Her ex-husband, Victor Porras and her adult son, who was also living at the residence, were the last to see her that night.  Her husband had gone to bed and her son had gone out for the evening. According to reports, Irene and Victor had been divorced for about 5 years, but still lived together.  Family members close to Irene report that it's very much out of character for her not to be in touch with them.

Victor Porras called his daughter in San Antonio and on August 16, three days later, she was reported missing. Irene's purse and cell phone were not at the home, but vehicles were not taken and there was no forced entry into the home.

Construction workers found her cell phone about a week later on the side of the road approximately 17 miles from her home.  No other items belonging to Irene Porras have been found, despite the efforts of Texas Equusearch who conducted ground searches starting on August 28.

Investigators believe there may be criminal activity related to her disappearance, but have not indicated what type of criminal activity, and are asking the public's aid in finding information and locating the whereabouts of Irene Porras.

She is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall and has brown hair and brown eyes.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for any information that helps investigators solve this case. If you have seen Porras since her disappearance, or if you have any information on her whereabouts, contact Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-8477. All tipsters remain anonymous. Texas Equusearch can be reached at (281) 309-9500.  

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office Missing Persons Unit at 713-755-7427.

Rebecca Ware, Mother of Three, Missing in Florida

Rebecca Ware of St. Augustine, FL,  didn't show up for her job at Hydro America for two days, which led to family members filing a missing persons report declaring her missing since October 29.

Recent reports say that she had been involved in past violent relationships, and family members are worried that fact may be connected to her disappearance.

Her car was found abandoned in the parking lot of a local grocery store and is being processed for evidence as the search for Rebecca continues.

A release from the sheriff's office said detectives have developed new evidence over the last three days that pushed them to reclassify the case.

Investigators now suspect foul play, and have a person of interest, although they are not releasing any further details at this time. 

There have been four missing women this year in St. John's County. The first two, Brittany Tavar and Jan Keller were killed. The case of Shannon Hawkins, who disappeared in July, is still unsolved.

Rebecca's employer is offering a $5000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for her disappearance, as well as the local Crimestoppers reward of $1000.

Rebecca Ware is 5 feet 7 inches tall and 160 pounds with blue eyes and dark brown hair with blond highlights.

Anyone who may have come in contact with Ware since she disappeared or who may have additional information concerning her whereabouts should contact St. Johns County Detective Charles Brantley at 904-824-8304 or Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-888-277-TIPS.
