Where is 21-year-old Julie Ann Gonzalez?

Police in Austin, Texas are struggling to find answers in the search for a young mother who was last seen on March 26th. 21-year-old Julie Ann Gonzalez was last seen by her estranged husband when he says she came to pick up their daughter. George De La Cruz, who is in divorce proceedings with Gonzalez, told HLN that his wife was acting strangely. "She looked completely different. She kind of looked sad. She was down. She was out of it, not there. Not concentrating," De La Cruz said. He claims she told him she had changed her mind and would come back later. She never did.

After she disappeared, HLN reports that Gonzalez's MySpace page was updated by a mobile phone user. The posts read "I wanted to run away" and "I'm sick of the BS in my life." Her car, which was almost brand new, was found abandoned outside a Walgreen's drug store. Gonzalez worked as a pharmacy technician at another Walgreen's. So far, the biggest break in the case has been the use of Julie's credit card at a Best Buy store in Austin. According to her mother, Sandra Soto, someone used her card to purchase the movie "The Spiderwick Chronicles". "They showed me the surveillance video and they asked me to identify the person who used the credit card. It was not her," Soto said. Other than that, Gonzalez' accounts remain inactive.

The young mom's aunt, Dora Cooper, said the following about her niece:
"Julie is a very responsible mother. She's not one of these 21-year-old types that just want to be out and party."
