The Lost Sister: Where is Santa Iris Guzman?



Feature







The question had taken on almost folklore status in Mellisa Sanchez’s
family. Like a precious heirloom, it was passed down through four 
generations, ever since a summer day in 1949, when the little girl with 
the big brown eyes and soft curls disappeared in Mayagüez, Puerto 
Rico.

Santa Iris’ mother, Filomena Guzman, had one plea for her family: 
“Never stop looking.”

No one knew where to hunt, or how. Until the younger generation 
tapped into the riches of a technological age.

Mellisa, a Fort Lauderdale accountant, was poking around on a 
popular genealogy website when she stumbled onto clues to the 
disappearance that had haunted her family for 65 years.

With the click of a mouse, new details unfolded about the fate of 
the toddler.

Had Mellisa found Santa Iris? Was it too late?
