case details:
Munoz was last seen in Biloxi, Mississippi on June 11, 1994. She left her parents’ home with her 3-month-old son between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. driving her 1988 Plymouth Reliant. She was supposed to be picking up the father of her son, Micheal David Lamb, and go shopping at the Edgewater Mall.
When she wasn’t home by dark, her parents became worried and called Lamb. Although Munoz and Lamb’s son was at Lamb’s residence, Munoz was nowhere to be found. Authorities initially believed that she left on her own accord; however, her disappearance was later reclassified as an endangered missing person.
Munoz’s car was found abandoned in the parking lot of the Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport the day after her disappearance. Security footage at the airport was pulled but Munoz was never seen on any of the footage.
In October 2008, authorities arrested Lamb and charged him with Munoz’s murder. He told investigators that he and Munoz got into an argument in his mother’s kitchen and he shot Munoz in the chest. Lamb said his mother was a witness to the shooting.
Lamb states that he and his mother cleaned the scene up after panicking. They wiped up all of the blood evidence and wrapped her in two large garbage bags and put her in the dumpster at Hiller Park.
Lamb was convicted of manslaughter in 2009 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was released only 4 years later.
Munoz has never been located but she is presumed deceased at this time due to the circumstances of the case and the confession given by Lamb.
