DALLAS — Editor's note: The above video is from a previous story concerning the disappearance of Marisela Botello-Valadez.
The Dallas Police Department Youth Operations Unit on Tuesday upgraded the case of Marisela Botello-Valadez from “want to locate” to “endangered missing person," officials say.
Marisela Botello-Valadez, of Seattle, was last seen the night of Oct. 4 in Deep Ellum. Botello-Valadez’s family said she flew to Dallas to visit her ex-boyfriend, but instead of going out with him, she took a Lyft to Deep Ellum by herself.
Her family released a video from a bar on Elm Street that they say captured Botello-Valadez with an unknown man.
Last week, Dallas police named Charles Beltran as a person of interest in the case.
Police said Beltran hasn’t been seen since the early morning hours of Sunday, Oct. 5. He was last known to be driving a Black 2014 Audi A6 with Texas license plate MJG3114.
If you know of Beltran’s or Botello-Valadez’s whereabouts, you’re asked to call 911, the Dallas Police Department Youth Operations Unit at 214-671-4268 or email missingpersons@dpd.dallascityhall.com.
