Rico was last seen at her Camelot Drive home in Oceanside, California on April 2, 1992. When a friend went to Rico's house to go on a planned ski trip, she found the front door open, but Mary was not at home.
When Rico's son went to his mother's home, he found the rear patio glass door broken, blood smears on his mother's bed, and the telephone line outside her house cut. Police searched the house and found nothing to indicate that Rico had left on purpose. Both her cars were still in the garage, her suitcases remained in the closet, and her purse, wallet, credit cards and ID were left on her bed. A credit card receipt from Ralph's grocery dated April 2 (the day she was last seen) and signed by Rico was also found in the house.
Rico is presumed to be deceased.
