Henriquez’s family is distraught by his abduction; his mother has spoken out about their special relationship and the shock of his abrupt absence.
Despite wanting to stay nameless out of worry for her safety, she disclosed that she and Henriquez spoke ondailyOn April 8, though, he indicated going to a party at an Airbnb in Brentwood, which abruptly put an end to their connection.
He left the gathering around 7:30 p.m. and decided to take a Lyft to the Poospatuck Reservation, according to the police. His mother’s worry increased when her text messages remained unanswered and his phone went straight to voicemail.
When her son skipped a family meeting on Easter Sunday, a day he would never voluntarily skip, she grew upset and worried.
Residents of the reserve declined to talk to Eyewitness News on camera during their visit to get further information.
Henriquez’s aunt, Ana Rodriguez, expressed bewilderment about his choice to go to the reservation that evening, as the family is still unsure of his whereabouts and motivations.
