Missing Evelyn Guardado's remains 'likely found', Eagle Pass police say

The body of missing Maverick County constable Evelyn Guardado was ‘likely found’ near her Texas prison workplace, Eagle Pass authorities report.

Evelyn Guardado was reported missing on February 1, 2023, one day after her disappearance. Fast forward six days later, police claim they have “likely found” her remains in the Maverick County town of Quemado, reports KHOU.

A medical examiner has yet to confirm the identity of the body, but authorities cited specific factors that direct to Guardado.

Family, locals, and social media users have been campaigning for her return, and Eagle Pass Police Chief Federico Garza revealed there are still many unanswered questions.

HITC takes a look into the case so far.

Evelyn Guardado’s remains ‘likely found’ by Eagle Pass, Texas police

The remains were found in a rural area of Quemado in northern Maverick Country. The location is reportedly near Eagle Pass Detention Facility, where Guardado worked as an officer, as per My San Antonio. The body was found with visible wounds. 

Guardado is a private prison detention officer and is noted as a 24-year-old woman, who is 5ft 4in tall and 180lbs, with brown hair and black hair. Judging from her Facebook posts captioned in Spanish and her surname, she is Hispanic.

The missing woman was allegedly last seen on January 31 after dropping her friend off at her home. Guardado’s car was later traced to an apartment complex and a man, who was in possession of the vehicle in Medina County, was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle, states Fox 29.

Medina County is about 125 miles away from Quemado.

Guardado’s case has been followed by social media users, though many are furious that her disappearance hasn’t hit news channels nationwide.

Tributes have poured in for the Guardado family, particularly Evelyn’s son, who is allegedly three years old.

“The case of Evelyn Guardado is so heartbreaking I swear to God,” one wrote. “To hear her mom on the news and her sister crying is so f****** devastating. Her three-year-old is waiting for his mom to come home…I cannot even being to imagine.”

A second similarly commented: “My heart aches for Evelyn Guardado and the pain, and anger her parents feel. She did NOT deserve this…”

Mexican-born congresswoman Mayra Flores “hopes and prays Evelyn Guardado’s family receives justice.”
