OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — Oklahoma City police have issued a Kasey Alert for 35-year-old Modesta Padron after she was last seen at a laundromat in the 3300 block of NW 23rd Street. Investigators have not said when she was first reported missing, but they are treating the case as urgent.
Police say Padron is a Hispanic woman who is about 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds. She has brown hair, brown eyes, and tattoos on both arms and both legs.
Officers said she was last seen wearing a white shirt and blue jean shorts. Police also said they do not currently have a photograph of her.
What police said about the possible abduction
Investigators said it is possible Padron was abducted or taken against her will. That is the clearest statement police have made about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
At this stage, Oklahoma City police have not released any additional details about a suspect, a vehicle, or a timeline beyond the laundromat sighting. They have also not said whether anyone reported seeing Padron leave the business with another person.
The Kasey Alert signals that authorities consider the case serious enough to seek immediate public help. In Oklahoma, these alerts are used to spread information quickly when a missing person may be in danger.
The description police want the public to remember
Padron’s physical description is central to the alert because officers do not have a photo to share right now. Police described her as 5-foot-2, 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
They also said she has tattoos on both arms and both legs, a detail that may help someone recognize her more easily. The clothing description is equally specific: a white shirt and blue jean shorts.
Officials have not said whether Padron was carrying anything when she was last seen. They also have not shared any information about a destination or where she may have gone after leaving the laundromat.
Why the laundromat location matters to the search
The last confirmed sighting places Padron in the 3300 block of NW 23rd Street, a busy stretch in Oklahoma City where a laundromat would likely draw regular foot traffic. That makes the public more likely to have seen her, even briefly.
Police have focused the alert on that specific location because it is the last known point where investigators can anchor the timeline. Anyone who was at or near the laundromat may have noticed who she was with, what she was wearing, or whether she left on foot or in a vehicle.
At the moment, the case appears to depend heavily on community tips. Without a photograph, the written description and location details become the main tools for identifying possible witnesses.
How the public can help Oklahoma City police
Police are asking anyone with information to call 911 immediately. That instruction suggests investigators want any tip, even a small one, to be routed quickly through emergency dispatch.
Authorities have not listed any other contact number or tip line in the alert they released. They also have not said whether a separate missing person bulletin will be issued later if more information becomes available.
Anyone who saw a woman matching Padron’s description near NW 23rd Street should be prepared to give police the time, place, and direction of travel if possible. Those details can help officers narrow the search area.
What remains unknown in the case right now
Several basic questions remain unanswered. Police have not said when Padron was last in contact with family or friends, how long she has been missing, or whether any searches have already been conducted.
They have also not identified a possible suspect, described any vehicle of interest, or explained whether Padron has any known medical concerns. Those gaps mean the alert is still focused on locating her as quickly as possible.
For now, Oklahoma City police are relying on the public to help bridge the gap between the last sighting and Padron’s current whereabouts. The immediate priority is finding out where she went after leaving the laundromat.
