Roberta Jean Raines was 19 when she was last seen in Toppenish, Washington, on July 10, 2001. She is Native American, with black hair, brown eyes, about 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches tall and around 120 pounds. Her disappearance was reported to the Toppenish Police Department on February 9, 2007.

Roberta was reportedly last seen in the company of a man named Jose Merced Zamora. Zamora later became the subject of a separate criminal investigation after an alleged fatal shooting in 2002 and fled to Mexico. After his arrest in Idaho in 2007, he told police that Roberta had gone with him to Mexico but that she left him there and he had no further knowledge of her whereabouts; that statement has not been corroborated.

The case remains an open investigation out of Yakima County, with no confirmed resolution and few concrete details about Roberta’s last known movements. If anyone knew Roberta, saw her around Toppenish in July 2001, or has information about her time in Mexico, please come forward.
