Gorgeous Texas Bartender, 21, VANISHES: Arrest Made

After a night out with friends, Madeline Pantoja returned home, then stopped responding to texts and phone calls.

One of Pantoja’s friends and a sibling went to her apartment, but the door was locked and no one answered. Midland police were called. Officers broke in and found Pantoja’s phone, keys and her dog inside. Her car was also still in the parking lot.

Information began filtering in from neighbors who heard arguing from both inside and outside the apartment and screaming around 1 a.m. Surveillance cameras caught a pickup truck speeding away from the home.

Pantoja's body is found, 10 days after she vanished. Ex-boyfriends Mario Juan Chacon, 24, is booked on first-degree murder charges.
