She's 5'4", about 145 pounds, Hispanic, with black hair and eyeglasses. She was wearing a 3/4 length white sweater, black pants and black shoes when she went missing. That same day around noon, Michael Vecchio (right), a 34-year-old man with Down's Syndrome, wandered away from his Bronx home. He is 5'2", about 275 pounds, with brown eyes and short brown hair, and at the time of his disappearance was wearing a navy blue shirt, gray pants, and white sneakers, and carrying a black bookbag.
