On November 26, 2022, 41-year old Reina Morales Rojas got into a car in East Boston, MA and was later dropped off in nearby Somerville. That’s the last time anyone had seen or heard from the mother of two.

Though she was reported missing soon after, the public didn’t hear anything about Reina’s disappearance for almost two months. If activist Lucy Pineda of Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts hadn’t stepped in to help bring attention to her case, Reina’s family wonders if her story would’ve ever made the news.

Now four months later, Reina still isn’t home and information is scarce. Her children and sister in El Salvador await any sign that she is okay, all while fighting for attention on her case.
