Virgie Baliton, 41, was last seen on May 13, 2017, in Berkeley, California. She had been working as a live-in caregiver in Hong Kong for 14 years and had traveled with her employer to the United States to attend a granddaughter’s graduation at the University of California, Berkeley. Around 9 a.m. the group was at Cafe Strada on campus when Baliton said she needed to find a restroom. The café restroom was out of order, so she left to look for another nearby and never returned.

Baliton was unfamiliar with the area and the United States. Investigators have found no evidence of foul play and no significant leads have emerged; she is listed as an endangered missing person by the UC Berkeley Police Department. Family and employers remain deeply worried and the circumstances of her sudden disappearance are still unclear.

If anyone was at or near Cafe Strada on the morning of May 13, 2017, or remembers seeing Virgie Baliton that day, please come forward with any information.
