Elvira Rivera Babb, 57, was last seen on June 29, 2016, in Vallejo, California, after a coworker dropped her at a local fish market. The next day her son received a text demanding $60,000 for her safe return and threatening to kill her if the ransom wasn’t paid. When he checked her home he found her Chihuahua dead and Elvira missing; there were no signs of forced entry.

A Filipina immigrant who worked in an orthotics lab, Elvira had recently filed for bankruptcy, a detail noted by investigators who said it made a ransom motive unlikely. Four suspects were arrested in connection with her disappearance; Emmanuel Espinoza, who knew Elvira, was later charged with her murder while charges against the others were reduced or dropped. Elvira has never been found and is presumed dead.

Are there any readers who knew Elvira or who recall seeing her in Vallejo around June 29–30, 2016?
