- π‘ Shapamela "Pam" Buckner, a 20-year-old recent high school graduate, vanished from her Houston apartment in March 2017, with her family having no contact for eight years.
- π Neighbors reported a heated altercation the night she went missing, and Pam sent "odd texts" to a neighbor asking them to call the police.
- π Pam's phone, purse, ID, and keys were all found inside her apartment, strongly suggesting she did not leave willingly.
Disturbing Incidents and Police Response
- π¨ Pam also called her aunt, claiming she was being attacked in her home, prompting her aunt to rush to the apartment.
- πͺ When police responded to the neighbor's call for a welfare check, no one answered the door, and they left.
- β οΈ Later, when Pam's aunt arrived, someone else answered the door and refused her entry, stating Pam was not there.
- π The apartment showed signs of a struggle, including clothes scattered and shower curtains on the floor, according to family.
Family's Frustration and Lack of Transparency
- π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Pam's cousin, Monica Rivas, and uncle, Billy Rivas, emphasize that she was a responsible honor graduate who would never leave without contacting her close-knit family.
- π The family reports a lack of communication and transparency from the Houston Police Department, with calls unreturned and little progress shared.
- π¬ They believe police know who is responsible for Pam's disappearance, as mugshots were shown, but no charges have been filed, and suspects were released.
Investigation Challenges and Public Appeal
- π¨ Concerns were raised about delayed police response to the initial disturbance call and a perceived lack of urgency in the investigation.
- π₯ Despite the apartment complex having gated access and security cameras, the family has received no information about surveillance footage.
- π° Crimestoppers of Houston is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for criminal conduct related to Pam's disappearance.
- π£οΈ The public is urged to contact Crimestoppers anonymously with any information to help bring justice to Pam's family.
