SEAGOVILLE, Texas — On Sunday afternoon, October 1st, 2023, the Seagoville Police Department received a call for service for a missing person. Concerned family members had arrived at the Seagoville Police Department to report that a close family member had been missing for several days. The missing person was identified as Jennnifer Mendez Olascoaga (an adult female, 24 years of age).
A police report was created, and the Seagoville Police Department entered Jennifer into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) as a missing person (endangered) in accordance with state law.
Initially, on Thursday, September 28, 2023, family members had filed a missing person’s police report with the Dallas Police Department. However, when it was reported that Jennifer was last seen in the City of Seagoville, the Dallas Police Department referred them to the Seagoville Police Department.
Family members informed the Seagoville Police Department that they believe Jennifer’s vehicle was last seen on surveillance cameras on 9/27/2023 at about 8:00 pm, in the Creekside Mobile Home Park located at 2510 U.S. HWY 175, Seagoville Texas, 75159. Reportedly, Jennifer was at the location for a short time as she was dropping off a friend. Jennifer’s vehicle, a white 2015 Buick La Crosse was located by family members on Thursday, September 28, 2023, near the intersection of Milam Road and Lawson Road in Mesquite. The vehicle was secured upon locating it and was towed privately to another family member’s home.
Prior to, and during, reporting Jennifer as a missing person to the police, a family member received text messages forwarded from friend recipients regarding Jennifer. These messages have been forwarded to investigators and are being looked at further. These text messages contained content that would lead one to believe that Jennifer’s disappearance may involve foul play.
Jennifer is a teacher’s assistant with the Dallas Independent School District. This unexplained disappearance by Jennifer is not considered normal behavior, according to family members.
The Seagoville Police Department Criminal Investigations Division is currently working on the case as a missing person case and has requested the assistance of the Texas Rangers. The case remains an active and open investigation.
The Seagoville Police Department encourages anyone with information, leads, or surveillance video from the area where Jennifer was last seen or where her vehicle was discovered to contact them.
As updates become available and releasable to the public, the Seagoville Police Department will do so accordingly. Please follow our social media channels for more information and updates as they become available.
