Family is desperately searching for 58-year-old New Mexico woman Toni Padilla, who vanished three years ago. - DatelineNBC
“My Aunt Toni was someone very special in my world,” Mary Lou Ortiz said. “We had a really close connection. Wherever she was, I wanted to be.”Antonia “Toni” Padilla has been missing since July 3, 2020. The 58-year-old was last seen in her hometown of Silver City, New Mexico.
“She was a really strong lady,” granddaughter Jasmine Rascon said. “She wore bright red lipstick. And she was friendly, and she knew a lot of people, and she really cared for her family.” Jasmine added that her grandmother was financially stable at the time of her disappearance, but that “she didn’t have a job.”That’s because at the time of her disappearance, Toni was in charge of taking care of her parents. “She was a caretaker to my grandparents at the time,” niece Mary Lou said.
Not only was Toni still mourning her daughter’s death, but she was mourning the death of her boyfriend a few years earlier. “There was a lot of tragedy going on in the past couple of years where she was struggling,” Mary Lou said. Jasmine agreed that it was a tough time for her grandmother. “That really took a lot out of her, but she’s always gone on with every day. She had a lot of faith in God,” Jasmine said. “She wasn’t the type to run away or --.
They began searching near where Toni was last seen. “We looked for her all afternoon,” Jasmine said. “There was no sign of her.” Toni’s granddaughter Jasmine told Dateline that in the weeks and months following Toni’s disappearance, volunteers would show up to help search. “She was real big in church, so people from the church would come,” Jasmine said. They also held a prayer vigil for Toni, and had the pastor from her church speak.
When asked about the Silver City Police Department’s search efforts, Captain Hobbs told Dateline that they’ve searched several areas in connection to Toni’s case. “We’ve searched ponds, we’ve searched cemeteries,” she said. They also used cadaver dogs. The Silver City Police Department has also obtained several search warrants in Toni’s case. “Anything that we are getting over the years, as far as a tip, what we do is -- as long as we have enough probable cause to obtain a search warrant -- we do that,” Captain Hobbs said. “So far we’ve done several search warrants covering several areas and we’ve found nothing.”
