On November 17, 2013, 18-year-old Zoe Campos left her south west Lubbock apartment and was never seen again. Three years later, Lubbock Police Department investigators are still dedicated to finding Zoe and hopeful someone with information will come forward.
On the evening of November 17, Zoe was last seen on surveillance video with her sister at Copper Caboose Restaurant near Avenue Q. After dinner, Zoe and her sister went back to her apartment at 3532 50th Street. This was the last time family members saw Zoe.
At some point that night, Zoe left her apartment. She had plans to pick her mother up from work the next day on November 18th, but Zoe never arrived. Worried, her mother called police and reported her missing.
Investigators were able to determine Zoe’s last outgoing text message was to her mother at approximately 1:30 a.m. on November 18. Investigators were able to track the text location to the area of Lowery Field.
Three days after she went missing, Zoe’s aunt spotted her car being driven by an unknown male. She immediately began to follow the car, but lost sight of the vehicle. A short while later, the car was found abandoned at Driftwood Apartments at 5501 Utica Avenue. It is still unclear who was driving the vehicle.
To this day, investigators are still receiving Crime Line tips about Zoe’s disappearance, however many of these tips and clues have turned up empty handed.
We remain hopeful for Zoe’s family that someone will come forward with clues as to what led to Zoe’s disappearance. If you have any information, we ask that you call Detective Adam Freeman at806-775-2415 or Crime Line at 806-741-1000. Callers can remain anonymous.
