Alonzo was last seen in Oakland, California on November 20, 2004. She has never been heard from again. Her family reported her as a missing person after she did not attend their Thanksgiving celebration on November 24. She had previously told them she planned to attend.

In early December, Alonzo's family members asked her boyfriend of two years, Eric Mora, if he knew her whereabouts. He told them he had given her $40 and dropped her off at a liquor store on November 20 and had not seen her since then. He stated Alonzo wanted to meet a drug dealer named Clarence who lived in the area. He appeared unconcerned about her disappearance and said she would probably return home soon. However, Alonzo's relatives believed foul play was involved in her case and suspected Mora had harmed her. Mora and Alonzo's relationship had been troubled prior to her disappearance. He admitted to Alonzo's daughter that they were constantly arguing, and she advised him to end the relationship. A photograph of Mora is posted below this case summary.

Mora had mulitiple scratches on his hands after Alonzo's disappearance. Her blood was found in his brother's house in the 6200 block of Brookside Drive in Oakland. There was evidence that someone had tried to clean it up, and two rugs were missing. Mora was charged with Alonzo's murder in February 2007. Authorities believe he beat, shot or stabbed Alonzo to death, then used his blue Mercedes-Benz to transport the body and dispose of it in an unknown location. A judge dismissed the case on a technicality, but the charges were refiled. Mora, who was previously convicted of cocaine possession and describes himself as a habitual shoplifter, is awaiting trial on the murder charge. He maintains his innocence and states he believes Alonzo may still be alive. He said their relationship was sexual but not romantic. An anonymous informant testified that Mora admitted the murder to him. Mora allegedly stated he'd beaten Alonzo to death with a hammer, dismembered her body and dumped it in a body of water in the Sonora, California area.

Alonzo left behind five children. She has a troubled history, including arrests for drug- and prostitution-related charges. Although her remains have never been recovered, foul play is suspected in her case due to the circumstances involved.
