Madeline Benitez, 64, was last seen on October 29, 2011, in Capitola, California. She worked part-time at a Capitola Burger King and attended church regularly; friends reported her missing after she failed to show up for work and she was reported missing on November 8, 2011. Police found her apartment in order with no signs of foul play and her calendar marked up through the day she was last seen.

Madeline had a history of mental illness and was reportedly not taking her medication at the time of her disappearance, prompting concern for her welfare. Investigators have said she may have been with a local homeless man named Randy, described as a slender, bearded Caucasian man in his fifties who stayed in the Capitola area, but no significant leads developed.

The case remains unsolved. If anyone has information about Madeline’s whereabouts, contact the Santa Cruz Police Department.
