Maria Angelica Salas was 20 when she was last seen in the early hours of August 13, 2001, in San Jose, California. She left her residence near Coyote and Center Road at about 3:00 a.m., possibly accompanied by a male, and never returned home.

Described as 4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet 1 inch and about 100 pounds, Maria had brown hair and brown eyes and several distinctive tattoos: Mary on her right ankle, Breanne on her left ankle, and a butterfly on her left arm. She also had medical conditions that required attention. There have been a few unconfirmed sightings and no activity on her bank accounts.

The San Jose Police Department continues to investigate but the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Mary, saw her that morning, or has information that could help bring her family closure, please contact the authorities.
