In Houston, a city bustling with life and the complex narratives of its inhabitants, the streets are now lined with an urgent plea through the glow of billboards—find Debra Moore and Amarillyz Estevez. These missing persons cases have been thrust into the public eye, hoping to coax information from the community that could lead to their safe return. According to Click2Houston, these billboards are part of a collaborative effort by the Texas Center for the Missing and Clear Channel Outdoor to renew attention on the disappearances.
Debra "Dawn" Moore, a 14-year-old girl, vanished on July 20, 2025, last seen on the 600 block of Clear Lake Road in Highlands. Her disappearance is now highlighted on billboards across Houston, a strategy that local authorities hope will quickly reunite her with her loved ones. In a partnership that speaks to the solidarity of a community coming together, Lee Vela, Vice President of Public Affairs – Houston for Clear Channel Outdoor, expressed the company's commitment to this cause, stating, "Clear Channel Outdoor–Houston is proud to support the Texas Center for the Missing. Their work is vital in helping to locate missing persons, especially children. We value our long-standing partnership and remain committed to this important mission," as reported by Click2Houston.
Alongside Moore is Amarillyz "Amy" Estevez, 24, last seen over a year earlier on August 13, 2024, in the area of the 19000 block of North Piper Grove Drive in Katy. The enduring search for Estevez continues as each passing day adds weight to her family's wait for answers. With this renewed initiative, there is renewed hope that someone might come forward with information.
The local enforcement's push has now extended beyond traditional means, seeking to deeply embed their plea into the public consciousness. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office Missing Persons Unit actively requests the public's help to generate leads that could resolve these heartrending situations. Revealing how important every second is, no detail on Debra Moore's last known clothing was available, as per an article from The Baytown Sun.
Anyone with information regarding Debra Moore or Amarillyz Estevez is urged to reach out. The HCSO Missing Persons Unit can be contacted at 713-274-9270 or through email at [email protected]. It is through the eyes and ears of every Houstonian that hope persists, and these families await the return of their own.
