The family of missing Texas A&M graduate Sydney Marquez has revealed that recently obtained video places the 24-year-old near a Houston hotel shortly before she disappeared.

According to earlier reports from CrimeOnline, Marquez was last spotted on December 11 in Houston’s Chinatown area, specifically near a commercial hub located in the 9100 block of Bellaire Blvd.

Her father shared with News Nation that surveillance cameras captured her approximately 150 yards away from a hotel, following her journey from El Paso to Houston to meet a friend.

“All signs pointed to her returning to her hotel,” stated Raul Marquez, Sydney’s father, emphasizing the situation.

“Her belongings, including her phone, iPad, class ring, and clothes, were found at the hotel. There’s simply no rationale for why she didn’t make it back,” he added.

Raul has now disclosed that additional surveillance footage places Sydney about 150 feet from the hotel where he was staying.

“She was trying to get to our hotel. But for some reason or another, she kept going westbound on Harwin (Drive). That’s the last footage we have.”

Family members said Sydney suffers from mental health issues had been off her medication when she walked away. Police said her car was later found on the city’s southwest side, near the Chinatown district.

Raul Marquez said she had been in a diverse area of town and people may be afraid of coming forward, due to their immigration status.

“If you see my daughter, if she’s endangered. Please don’t stay quiet,” he said. “If you see something, if you know something, please say something. I miss my daughter. She needs to come home.”

Sydney recently graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in neuroscience. She’s described as standing 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing around 120 pounds. She has short reddish, brown hair, wears glasses and has a four-leaf clover tattoo on her left wrist.

Houston police are urging anyone with information to contact them at 832-394-1840 or Texas Equusearch at 281-309-9500.
