The family of a missing woman hopes a $1,000 dollar reward can help bring her back. Viridiana Maldonado's, 21, has been missing since October.
Follow up:
She was last seen at her North Charleston apartment.
Police said at a news conference Thursday morning they don't think she left home on her own free will. They're hoping someone will know where she is.
Maldonado's sister says she's been getting text messages from her sister that don't sound right. A translator for the sister of Maldonado says, “The way she sent those text messages is not her ... She never asked for her children, you know, like text messaging: 'How are the kids doing?' or 'Take care of them.' Because if she left, she would know the kids had to stay with somebody. I don't think the mother would just leave the kids not knowing what's going to happen to them.”
If you know where to find Viridiana Maldonado, call the Comen Detective Agency at 571-2667.
A $1,000 reward is being offered if she is found by midnight on January 10th.

The family stays composed until conversation turns to Viridiana Maldonado, their beloved daughter and sister, who has been missing for a year.
Then tears flow. They describe Viridiana, a young woman with dark, wavy hair and deep-brown eyes who left two children behind.
Her mother and sister care for her 7-year-old-son, Alex —her spitting image, they say— who continually asks about his mother, "Viri." Meanwhile, they're fighting Viridiana's estranged husband in court for custody of her 3-year-old son, now living with his father in another country.
Is she alive? Is she dead? What should they tell the children?
"We're not complete because my sister isn't here," said Jenne Cuevas, Viridiana's older sister, in Spanish. "I sleep, but it isn't easy because I'm always thinking of her."
A year ago today, it became apparent that the 21-year-old was not coming home from a night on the town. Since then, the family's fears about foul play have grown. Now police are convinced, too. Though no arrests have been made, investigators last week identified a suspect publicly for the first time: her husband, Jorge Maldonado.
