The Disappearance of Rena Rincones: A Cold Case in Falfurrias, Texas
In the small town of Falfurrias, Texas, a close-knit community was shake by the mysterious disappearance of Rena Rincones. Nearly three decades later, her case remains unsolved, lingering in the minds of her family, friends, and the people of South Texas. The details of her disappearance are a haunting reminder of how, even in small towns, the answers can be elusive, and the search for truth can stretch across decades.
Who was Rena Rincones?
Rena Rincones was a mother and member of a family rooted in Falfurrias, a town located about 90 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. She vanished under circumstances that remain unclear to this day. What we do know; well it is not that much, as this case continues to baffle law enforcement.
We know Rena was traveling from her parents house in Falfurrias, Texas. It is presumed that she was traveling from Falfurrias to Premont, Texas; which is only about 15 minutes away. It is presumed that she never made it there because it seems she has never been heard from since.
What else do we know?
We also know Rena was married and the mother of a 1 year old daughter at the time.
But we also know it was not until 9 months later that her father reported her missing? I know. I know. This seems odd to me too, but not knowing the circumstances or what law enforcement knows from any of their investigation that’s just it; it seems odd. But we know that it was 9 months later that Rena’s father reported her missing.
