MASSACHUSETTS, 2022: On November 26, 2022, 41-year old Reina Morales Rojas got into a car in East Boston, MA and some time later was dropped off in nearby Somerville. That\u2019s the last time anyone had seen or heard from the mother of two. Though she was reported missing soon after, the public didn\u2019t hear anything about Reina\u2019s disappearance for almost two months, and if advocates like Lucy Pineda of Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts hadn\u2019t stepped in to help bring attention to her case, Reina\u2019s family wonders if her story would\u2019ve ever made the news. Now four months later, Reina still isn\u2019t home and information is scarce. Her children and sister in El Salvador who once spoke to her every single day await any sign that she is okay, all while fighting for attention on her case that took far too long to receive.
