Cecilia Laurente Bustamante, a 42-year-old mother, disappeared after leaving her job in Atlanta on October 28, 2016. Co-workers say she departed Willy’s Mexican Grill at 725 West Peachtree Street in a frantic rush while wearing her work uniform and was never seen again. No calls, messages, social media activity, phone use, or financial transactions have occurred since that day.

Her passport, credit cards, and bank card were found locked in a safe at home, which led investigators to conclude she likely did not leave voluntarily. A friend in Baltimore reported her missing about five weeks later after she failed to attend Thanksgiving; the Chamblee Police Department expressed concern for her welfare. Her husband, who lived with her and their 7-year-old son, reportedly did not report her missing and showed little concern during police interviews. The local Filipino-American community organized vigils, distributed flyers, and hired a private investigator.

Cecilia is described as an Asian female, 5 feet 0 inches to 5 feet 4 inches, 100 to 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Does anyone who knew Cecilia or saw her in late October 2016 have information that could help investigators?
