In an interview with KPRC 2,<\/a> Sydney\u2019s father, Raul Marquez, said his daughter lives and works in El Paso and had traveled to Houston to visit friends. <\/p>\nHe believes she may have been experiencing a mental health episode at the time she disappeared.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was diagnosed with late-onset bipolar disorder with a bit of schizophrenia,\u201d Marquez said. \u201cOver the last two or three months, we saw changes in her behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marquez has stressed the importance of surveillance video from that bus Sydney might have boarded, calling it critical to understanding what happened next.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat footage is a matter of life and death,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s the last solid evidence we have.\u201d<\/p>\n
METRO Police confirmed this week that the requested bus video has been successfully retrieved and turned over to the Houston Police Department, which is leading the investigation. METRO Police say they continue to assist HPD as the search continues.<\/p>\n
Texas EquuSearch is also helping look for Sydney. Founder Tim Miller says time remains a major concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a young woman who was walking late at night in an area she didn\u2019t know,\u201d Miller said. \u201cWe just want to get her home safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an emotional message, her father addressed his daughter directly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSydney, you need to come home now,\u201d Marquez said. \u201cWe miss you. We love you. Christmas is around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n
