Foul Play Suspected In Disappearance Of Woman

Reporting

COLUMBIA, Md. (WJZ/AP) ― Howard County police believe foul play was involved in the disappearance of a Columbia woman who's been missing for more than a week.

Police say 28-year-old Elda Vazquez was reported missing by a friend on Tuesday.

Vazquez was last seen Jan. 22 around 10:30 p.m. entering a cab outside the Eggspectation restaurant on University Blvd. in Ellicott City.

Detectives believe Vazquez was dropped off in the 8700-block of Tamar Drive near her home, but her roommates told police she never returned.

Police say Vazquez worked two jobs but hasn't contacted her employers. Her friends and family members haven't heard from her, either.

"I hate to think the worst.  I hope she's fine," said her boss, Rafael Castro.  "I hope nothing's happened to her."

Police say she did not tell anyone she was leaving, nor did she pack any belongings.

Vasquez came from Mexico to provide for the children she left behind.
