Fears are growing for a 22-year-old women who vanished from her home in the middle of the night.

Isabel Custodio went missing from the apartment she shares with her sister in Houston, Texas, in the early hours of 3 March.

“We’re all very worried about her. It’s not like her to just go off like that,” said her brother Janio Denilson.

He told NBC’s Dateline that his sister does not have a car and left all her belongings behind, including her phone.

Isabel, who is originally from Angola in Africa, has been in Texas for the past 16 years.

“Why would she just walk off without her phone … or anything. It doesn’t make sense.”,” added Mr Denilson.

Houston police say that security video showed Ms Custodio leaving her apartment complex in southwest Houston at around 3am.

“This pandemic was tough on her. But she was pushing through. She’s very smart and was eager to get back to being at church

“We just don’t know where she could have gone. It’s very hard right now.”

Investigators say that Ms Custodio is five feet seven inches tall and weighs around 120 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

She was last seen wearing a grey skirt and grey jacket.
