Case Details

NCOUC - Group 3

Missing or Unidentified Person

Teresa Guzman, a 22 year old Hispanic female, was last seen in Las Vegas, Nevada December 1, 2008. She left behind three young children, and her family didn't believe she would have abandoned them. At the time of her disappearance, Guzman was 5'4" tall, weighed 130 pounds, had brown hair and black eyes, and only spoke Spanish.

Mrs. Guzman told family that she was leaving her estranged husband, Francisco Vazquez-Rosas, but he would not let her take the children with her. They had been separated three months by the time of her disappearance. The police interviewed Vazquez-Rosas, and he eventually confessed to Guzman's murder. According to him, on December 13 he and Guzman were together at an apartment in the 3100 block of South Nellis Boulevard. Guzman told him she was leaving and taking the children, and she wouldn't say where she planned to go. They began fighting and he pushed her out the door, and she fell down onto the asphalt. He hid her body in a closet when he realized she was dead, then later put it in a trash bin. Vazquez-Rosas was indicted twice for Guzman's murder, but charges were dismissed because the judge ruled that his confession was coerced.
