Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Marta disappeared from Heflin, Alabama on September 30, 2013. She was last seen at her home on U.S. 431 in the Hollis Crossroads area at 4:20 a.m.
At the time of her disappearance, she lived with her sister, her brother-in-law and their children and was a student at Cleburne County High School. Her family realized she was missing after she didn't return from school that afternoon. Authorities believe she left of her own accord.
After Marta's disappearance, an unidentified man called her sister and brother-in-law's home multiple times to say she was still in Alabama, then in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and then in Maryland. The number he was calling from has since been disconnected and authorities were unable to identify him or verify his statements.
Prior to her disappearance, Marta had spoken about returning to Guatemala, where she was born and where most of her family lives. She left a note behind saying this was her destination, but her sister and brother-in-law don't believe she could have gone there because they hadn't let her get a job and so she had no money. Her case remains unsolved.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
