Blanca Elisa Roberson is a young woman who went missing from Aransas Pass, Texas on August 6, 1989, at the age of 13. She was last seen walking to a friend's house and has not been seen since.
Here's what is known about her case
Disappearance: Elisa left her home around 4:30 pm or 5:30 pm and was heading towards Kieberger Elementary School to meet a friend. She never arrived at the meeting spot.
Description: At the time of her disappearance, she was described as 5'0" tall and weighing 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was of Hispanic ethnicity, originally from Nicaragua, and was considered immature for her age. She had a three-inch scar on her right knee and another scar on her left thigh. She was last seen wearing a light blue Mickey Mouse t-shirt, dark blue shorts, and tennis shoes.
Investigation: The case remains open and is currently being investigated by the Texas Attorney General's Office and the Texas Rangers. The Aransas Pass Police Department previously handled the case and conducted searches, including the use of tracking dogs that followed her scent to an intersection on her route, suggesting she may have been picked up by a vehicle.
Family's Involvement: Elisa's family has been actively involved in the search for answers, including hiring their own investigator and attorney to try and gain access to public records and compel the release of information by the police department.
Hopes and Challenges: While the case has been open for decades, new technologies like ground-penetrating radar have been used, and according to KRIS 6 News Corpus Christi in 2019, investigators believed there was the potential for a resolution. However, the investigation has faced challenges, including a lack of information disclosure by the police department according to the family, and the emergence of rumors on social media blaming the family for her disappearance.
Recent Developments: In late 2024, the Aransas Pass Police Department transferred the case to the Texas Rangers and the Texas Attorney General's Office, according to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. The Roberson family hopes this shift in leadership will bring a fresh perspective and lead to a resolution. The case was featured in an episode of the podcast "Voices for Justice" in March 2025, according to Facebook. A billboard campaign supported by Season of Justice aimed to raise awareness about her disappearance. A memorial walk was held in August 2024 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of her disappearance, according to SouthTexasNews.com.
Anyone with information about Blanca Elisa Roberson's disappearance is urged to contact the Aransas Pass Police Department at 361-758-5224 or the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse.
