Lynnette Martinez, a wrestler known as “She-Hulk” from El Paso has been missing since March 25 after traveling to San Antonio, Texas to attend a UFC match.
Lynnette was reportedly staying in the Alamo city with a friend during her time there. On the Fight night, Lynnette told her friend she was going to meet up with someone before her match. She said that someone promised her that she would be introduced to renowned officials within the UFC.
As a well-known wrestler herself in the Borderland, Lynnette’s mother Rosie Galvan said this is not unusual for her to receive those kinds of offers.
She is in the spotlight a lot because of the industry she is involved in wrestling Lucha Libre at one point she was trying to get into the WWE so it’s not uncommon for her to be around that kind of crowd or people so for us it’s pretty normal that she’d go to these big events.”
Galvan said.
Later that night, Lynnette’s friend said she had not returned home. She texted her (Lynnette) asking if she want a ride home.
Lynnette answered back saying that she was okay and that the people she was with will drop her off. On Sunday morning then came along and she had still not reached home.
Galvan said that they waited until 10 p.m. Sunday to see if Lynnette would contact them and if not, they would go to the authorities. By that time, she was still missing, and Lynnette’s friend and Galvan contacted the San Antonio Police Department.
Throughout the time they attempted calling Lynnette, her phone was reportedly switched off. However, it was switched on for a short time and a call was made to Lynnette’s friend.
The friend said there was a male voice at the other end of the call, but they quickly hung up the call. That call was then traced to Austin, Texas where officers are now assisting in the search.
Lynnette’s family along with Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, Austin police, and the FBI are doing what they can to find her. Galvan is expecting that by getting the word out about Lynnette’s disappearance, someone will come forward.
Somebody has to know something as far as who she was meeting who this person is who was promising her to introduce her to these people or give her these tickets at this point its getting really hard to stay positive but we are staying positive because my daughter is definitely a fighter.”
Galvan said
Martinez is 5 feet, 2 inches, and 120 pounds with purple and black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a red dress with white and black boots, according to the sheriff’s office.
Anyone with information about Martinez’s whereabouts is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 210-335-6000.
