Family of missing woman share pictures of ‘injuries after fight with boyfriend'
The concerned family of missing Nikki Alcaraz have shared disturbing images of her injuries which they say came after an alleged fight with her boyfriend just days before she disappeared.
Nikki Alcaraz, 33, from Tennessee, US, packed her Jeep with her boyfriend Tyler Stratton for a road trip to California to visit family.
But just three weeks after Nikki disappeared in Moriarty, New Mexico, and showed signs of injuries when she and her boyfriend reached the state on May 4.
A Torrance County Sheriff's Department report showed Nikki with a black eye.
The report claims Tyler was also hit but neither of them chose to press charges - with the pair leaving the police station separately.

Nikki hasn't been seen for weeks (Alcaraz family)According to police, a licence plate reader picked up her Jeep near Arizona last month but there has been no activity on her phone, which appears to be out of service.
Brother Josh has begged for the public to look out for her sister who has not been seen in three weeks.
"We would like everybody to keep their eyes open," he said. "And if you see the Jeep, if you see him, if you see her, call somebody. Call the police[...] Obviously, worst-case scenario is very present in the back of my mind. I'm trying to hold out hope."

Gabby, 22, tragically died when Brian Laundrie, her fiance, killed her in Wyoming during the couple's van journey in August 2021.
The search for her dominated national news before her body was eventually found on September 19, 2021.
A coroner ruled her death a homicide from "manual strangulation", before Laundrie's body was found in a nature reserve close to the home of his parents with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He left behind writings that showed his "responsibility" for his girlfriend's death.
