She dropped her young son off at his grandmother's residence near 11th Street and northwest Headingly Avenue and asked her to watch him while she took a two-day trip to Arizone. Trujillo was accompanied by a Hispanic male at the time of her disappearance; he has been publicly identified only as Jorge.Trujillo never returned to Albuquerque. A week after she was last seen, her aunt reported her disappearance to police. Weeks after that, Jorge returned to Albuquerque alone. He told Trujillo's aunt that he and Trujillo did not go to Arizona but to Tucumcari. Jorge stated they had a fight and Trujillo left in the car they had driven, and he never saw her again. Jorge is wanted for questioning by police about Trujillo's disappearance, but authorities have been unable to locate him.
Foul play is possible in Trujillo's disappearance. She was separated from her son's father at the time she went missing. Her loved ones stated it is uncharacteristic of her to abandon her child. Her case remains unsolved.
