SAN ANTONIO — UPDATE 4/2:
According to her mother and a search party, Lynnette Martinez, 30, has been found in the Austin area and is safe.
---------------------------
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office is asking for help finding a woman who has been missing since last week.
Lynnette Martinez, 30, was last seen in the 11000 block of Luckey Ledge Street in west Bexar County on March 23. Authorities said she was last seen wearing a red dress with white and black boots, and possibly a black cowboy hat.
BCSO said she's about 5'2" and 120 pounds, and said she has purple and black hair but may be wearing a wig.
BCSO provided an update to KENS 5 Friday afternoon:
"Investigators handling the case are currently retrieving video surveillance footage in an attempt to identify individuals Lynette Martinez may have been last seen with, vehicles she may have been in, to build an accurate timeline of her last known whereabouts," Deputy Johnny Garcia stated. "Investigators handling the case are urging members of the community who may have any information regarding the whereabouts of Lynette Martinez to contact the Bexar County Sheriff's Office at 210-335-6000 or email missingpersons@bexar.org."
Martinez's mother, Rose Galvan, had been in close contact with law enforcement throughout Friday afternoon, but was unable to comment.
Her mother said on Facebook, she was attending the UFC event in San Antonio Saturday night and was supposed to return to her friend's home right after.
Martinez had been working to build her reputation as a wrestler, and had even performed in some events, but her mother had been expecting her home by Sunday. Now she fears trafficking could be involved.
Anyone with information on Lynnette's whereabouts is urged to contact the Bexar County Sheriff's Office at (210) 335-6000 or e-mail missingpersons@bexar.org.
