In 1969, Reyna Marroquín disappeared. This hardworking, happy-go-lucky woman traveled by herself to the United States from El Salvador three years earlier to escape heartbreak and create a new life for herself. She worked long hours in a factory and attended school at night, all while sending money home to her family and writing regular letters to her mother. Then in the winter of 1969, those letters suddenly stopped. Join us as we explore the life of Reyna Marroquín and the events that took 30 years to discover her fate.
