GALVESTON, TEXAS: The Momin family of Spring, Texas is anxiously seeking answers after their 19-year-old daughter, Amtul Momin, went missing during a supposed enjoyable outing in Galveston over the weekend. Amtul Momin was last spotted near her vehicle at a Wendy's located along Seawall Boulevard, close to 24th Street.

The 19-year-old had spent Saturday, August 5, delighting in the amusements of Pleasure Pier, accompanied by her family and fellow mosque members. According to a family friend, the day took a worrisome turn when Amtul decided to change her shoes after getting them wet on a ride. She headed towards her car, situated approximately a block away, just before 8 pm. This marked the last instance she was seen.
