Linoshka Torres and Luis Campos

DALLAS - More than two weeks after a Duncanville couple went missing after being seen in an Oak Cliff neighborhood, family members have begun to come forward to say they believe police aren't doing enough.

Linoshka Torres, who is six months pregnant, and her boyfriend Luis Campos went missing 16 days after being seen at the house of the mechanic who was repairing their car.

"We pray every day that she is going to come back to us," said Rachell Torres, Torres' sister.

Torres' family said they are in purgatory waiting for word on the 18-year-old mother to be.

"We just feel hopeless," Torres said. "We don't know anything."

The family said the Dallas Police Department has moved too slowly on the case and said they believe detectives in the missing persons unit didn't take them seriously in the beginning of the case.

"If it was somebody from a different place or somebody from North Dallas they would have done something faster, and they didn't do that for us," Torres said.

The case was turned over to the Special Investigative Unit and authorities said as they looked into the couple's background they found no criminal history, no problems and no reason for them to disappear.

"They both seem to be an innocent couple with no criminal record," said Sgt. Gary Kirkpatrick, Dallas Police Department. "[They seem] to be young and happy and starting a family."

The son of the mechanic fixing their car said he believes he saw the couple leaving in an unknown vehicle and family members said they left behind their SUV and cell phones. Detectives said they even paid their rent on the day they disappeared and left behind their pets.

... [It] didn't look like they were getting ready to skip town," Kirkpatrick said. "It looks like they were planning to be there for some time."

Torres' family said with every passing day and night, they worry more about what has become of Torres, the baby girl she is carrying and Campos/

"I want them to find them, at least try to do something before the worst happens," Torres said.
