Summary

On the evening of October 6, 2019, Rosemary Rodriguez went to dinner with her boyfriend and her mother. On the way home, they dropped Rosemary's mother off and headed to her boyfriend's home. According to her boyfriend, Rosemary left his residence in Longview, Texas, after a brief argument. Two days later, a colleague called Rosemary's family to tell them she hadn't been to work, something very much out of character for Rosemary. Rosemary's family immediately called the police to report her missing. More than a year has passed since Rosemary's daughters last saw their mom, and every day seems to bring more and more dread that something awful happened.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Rosemary Rodriguez, please call the Gregg County Sheriff's Office at 903-236-8400.

You can follow Rosemary's story on social media at Finding Rosemary Rodriguez.

UPDATE: On December 30, 2021, Rosemary’s bright green Chevy Sonic was found in a densely wooded area in Kilgore, Texas. Human remains were recovered inside the vehicle. DNA testing on the remains is currently pending.

UPDATE: In February of 2022, authorities confirmed that the remains found inside Rosemary’s car have been identified as those of Rosemary Rodriguez.
