A 26-year-old Mesquite, Texas, mom was scheduled to pick up her son from the babysitter on Wednesday night, but she never showed up.
Prisma Denisse Peralta Reyes was reported missing to the police after friends and family made several attempts to reach her by phone.
Reyes' 2017 Jeep Wrangler was found abandoned by the Mesquite Police Department on Thursday morning in the 3500 block of Roseland Avenue in Dallas, Texas. ABC affiliate WFAA obtained surveillance video of the last-known sighting of Reyes near an apartment complex where her car was found.
