A ‘childlike’ woman with intellectual disabilities who vanished five days ago is ‘vulnerable to any predator’ searchers have warned. Martina Lopez, 20, was last seen in Houston, Texas, Friday, with search efforts ramped up on Tuesday amid growing concerns for the young woman’s wellbeing.

Martina is very naive and childlike, which makes her vulnerable to any predator.’ Black and his colleagues are working around-the-clock to try and bring Lopez home safely.
She suffers from autism, bipolar disorder and epilepsy, and as last seen close to a train station on Roswell Street on Houston’s north side. Lopez was wearing pink Barbie biker shorts, a gray pajama shirt emblazoned with candy canes, a pink and blue tie-dye hoody and rose backpack purse at the time of her disappearance.
