Mónica de León, 29, disappeared on Nov. 29 while walking to a gym known as Fit 4 Life in the city of Tepatitlán in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.
Her family believes that she may have been kidnapped after presumably being forced into a van the day she disappeared.
Monica moved to Jalisco for a job opportunity, according to her family's posts on social media.
