Makai Marchan tracked his wife Daniela Hernandez's car to a Planet Fitness parking lot in Magnolia, Texas, only to watch her drive away after he approached her at the gym. That was October 20, and Hernandez, 28, has not been seen since. On October 21, 2026, her silver 2015 Audi Q3 pinged in Corpus Christi; the car later crossed the border into Mexico without her inside it.
Hernandez left the couple's home in Spring that day to drive roughly 30 minutes to the Planet Fitness at 6511 FM 1488 in Magnolia, according to a report citing the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. She was last known to be wearing a black hoodie while sitting inside the Audi, which carries Texas license plate PSZ1079, per the same report. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has classified her as missing and endangered.
Marchan told Click2Houston that his wife showed no signs of planning to disappear before she drove off from the gym that day. He said Hernandez suffers from psychosis episodes, and he has spent the weeks since searching for her himself in addition to whatever law enforcement has been able to piece together.
A Trail That Ends at the Border
A Trail That Ends at the Border According to Click2Houston, Hernandez's car pinged in Corpus Christi the day after she left home, putting it hundreds of miles from the Magnolia gym where her husband last saw her. The sheriff's office said the vehicle was last believed to be in the Brownsville area before it crossed the border into Mexico on October 21, the station's report notes.
U.S. Border Patrol confirmed to investigators that Hernandez was not a passenger in the vehicle when it crossed, according to the sheriff's office. Authorities have not determined who was behind the wheel when the Audi entered Mexico, Click2Houston reports. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, per the same account from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office relayed to Yahoo News.
Husband's Search Leads to Matamoros
Marchan traveled to Matamoros, Mexico, where Hernandez has family, hoping to find some trace of her, according to Click2Houston. He said people there had not seen her. The couple shares two children, ages 4 and 11, and Marchan said what he wants most is simply to know that Daniela is okay.
“I just want her to call me and let me know she's okay,” is the gist of Marchan's plea to his wife, as he has asked her directly to reach out and confirm her safety, Click2Houston reported.
