“Her twins are 10 and her baby girl is only 2!” her mother posted. “She’s also a big sister to her 5 brothers and a granddaughter! Please for the love of God! If anyone has any information they can help us with, Anything! Please reach out!”
Gonzalez-Lunda filed a missing persons report with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. Authorities are looking for a woman who is 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighs 120 pounds , and has purple and black hair, and brown eyes.
“Her children are starting to ask for her now,” her mother told KVIA. “My family and my children, we’re living our worst nightmare right now.”
