Pearl Pinson was 15 when she was abducted in Vallejo, California, on the morning of May 25, 2016, while walking to her school bus stop. Witnesses saw 19-year-old Fernando Castro drag her across a pedestrian overpass along Interstate 780; Pearl was bleeding, screaming for help, and witnesses reported hearing a gunshot. Responding officers found Pearl’s blood and her phone on the overpass but neither Pearl nor Castro.

Castro was killed the next day in a shootout following a high-speed police chase in Southern California. Investigators recovered Pearl’s blood in the trunk of Castro’s car, yet there has been no sign of Pearl herself. Authorities have not found a clear connection between Castro and Pearl and have considered a random attack among other motives, but no solid evidence has emerged pointing to anyone else.

Pearl’s whereabouts remain unknown and her family continues to hope for answers. Did anyone in Vallejo or along I-780 see something that could help locate Pearl or explain how Castro and Pearl came together that morning?
