Houston - The desperate search for Genesis Rachel Barrondo ended over the weekend. According to family members, the Houston 20-year-old is now in a coma, but stable, in a local hospital.
"[We’re] just hoping that she’ll get better soon," said Barrondo’s step-brother Jason Hernandez. "We just want to know the truth."
The Houston 20-year-old was reported missing last Saturday. Nearly a week later, Barrondo’s family says they received a call from police.
"We received a call from one of the investigators, saying there was someone in the hospital not identified in intensive care," said Hernandez. "That person had the same characteristics as Genesis."
Barrondo’s mother, Olga, went to the hospital and identified the hospital patient as her daughter.
"I have no idea what happened, but Genesis has a lot of injuries," said Olga.
