coming up.

Belthron was actually posting on Facebook.

They were able to kind of get some tips off some of his Facebook friends and people that

he was talking to on Facebook and posting while he's on the run.

For Vault Studios, I'm Will Johnson.

You're listening to The Daily Crime.

It's one of the most popular entertainment districts in Dallas.

On the night of October 4th, Maricella Botelo came here to Deep Ellum to hang out,

and that's the last anyone has seen of her.

Maricela's family says she flew to Dallas from Seattle to visit her ex-boyfriend,

but she went to Deep Ellumone, taking a lift ride.

If she went to visit him, why did he let her go alone that night? That's the number one question I have.

I don't know if it was a mistake that she went there because she was so happy to fly there to Dallas to visit,

and she never imagined something like this would happen.

If someone knows something, please tell us or let her go, I beg of you.

I'm joined by Rebecca Lopez at WFAA in Dallas, Texas.

Rebecca, tell us what we know about Marcella Botello and then this trip she took to Texas in October of last year.

So Maricelabotelo was just this young girl. Her family says she was very vibrant and was very family oriented, really close to her mom and her cousins. And she was just a very vibrant young lady. I mean, she was young, but she flew to Dallas by herself because she wanted

to come visit this former boyfriend of hers and just, you know, come see Dallas and have a good time.

And so she had flown over here. She was only supposed to be here a few days. And then she was

supposed to fly back to Seattle because she had an event that she was going to go to the following

day when she was supposed to return. So her family was waiting for her to come home.
