Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP10674) and 2 other sources
Romelia Valentin, a 14-year-old girl, was last seen on June 4, 1999, in Fontana, California. At the time of her disappearance, Romelia had recently given birth to a baby boy, who was only one week old. She ran away from a foster home, and little information has emerged since about the circumstances leading to her disappearance.

Romelia was described as Hispanic, standing 4'11" tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. On the day she disappeared, she was reportedly wearing a multi-colored red shirt and black jeans. Her case remains unsolved, and there has been no known contact from her since she vanished.

Efforts to locate Romelia have continued, and her case remains listed in missing persons databases, including NamUs and state authorities. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact law enforcement to help bring closure to this longstanding case.
