Kassandra Ramirez vanished at the age of 25 of September 19th, 2018. The young mother was living with a cousin in Bronx, New York at the time of her disappearance. Kassandra went missing during an eventful time in her life. She had recently graduated from culinary school, and she had just gotten a job that she was due to start the following month. Additionally, Kassandra's mother, Ingrid, was visiting New York at the time of Kassandra's disappearance. The two had spent the day together, along with Kassandra's younger sister, on September 17th. They had plans to meet up again on September 20th for Ingrid's birthday. Kassandra was also looking forward to celebrating her young son's birthday later that week.
In addition to the celebratory events in Kassandra's life, she had also been facing some tough circumstances shortly before her disappearance. A week before she went missing, Kassandra testified in front of a grand jury about an attack and rape she had endured. The suspect was subsequently charged with seven felony counts as a result of the attack. On the evening of her disappearance, she left her cousin's Bronx residence around 11:40 PM after saying her ex-boyfriend was outside waiting for her. Kassandra told her cousin she'd be back in the morning by the latest, but she never returned home. She has never been seen or heard from again. It did not take long for Kassandra's loved ones to begin worrying for her safety. On September 20th, Kassandra's mother Ingrid went to an emergency room to receive treatment for a condition she suffers from. When Ingrid texted Kassandra to let her know, Kassandra did not reply. Later that day, Ingrid received a call from Kassandra's cousin, saying that Kassandra had not returned home. The next morning, Ingrid contacted the 42nd Precinct to report her daughter missing.
