Luz Karina Campos was traveling with her sister, Blanca Lillian Campos, and her aunt, Angelica Gonzales, from El Salvador to the United States on April 8, 2007 when the three disappeared after crossing into Brooks County, Texas. Law enforcement officials believe their bodies were left under a tree and covered with a plastic sheet. However, the family has received a ransom note that claims the children are still alive. Luz Karina Campos was last known to be wearing blue jeans, a denim jacket, and black and gray size 7 "Bracos" brand tennis shoes. She has a small scar on her forehead and pierced ears with hoop earrings.
