NEW CANEY, Tx - A New Caney family is pleading for the public's help finding a woman who has been missing for nearly two weeks as search-and-rescue crews comb a sprawling area near Highway 99 and FM 1485.

Maria Veronica Ortiz Estrada was last seen by family members around noon on July 20, according to her daughter, Carla Ortiz.

A person who lives nearby reportedly saw her around 6 p.m. that day but said she appeared disoriented and unsure which direction to walk.
