Lauren Ysabel Pena, 32, was last seen on February 13, 2014, near Kernville, California. Her vehicle was found four days later on February 17 at McNally’s Fairview Lodge in a remote area near Sequoia National Forest. Witnesses reported seeing her with a backpack asking about trailheads, but she was not believed to be adequately prepared for rugged terrain or winter weather. Searches were hampered by the remote location and difficult conditions, and there have been no significant leads since. The case remains open and investigators are seeking information.

If anyone has information about Lauren’s movements or saw her in mid-February 2014, please come forward.
