Sara Martinez-Fabila, 48, was last seen on July 12, 2016, in Paradise, California. She is described as about 5 feet 6 inches, 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Her family reports she struggled with bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression and alcoholism, but had completed an 18-month treatment program and was committed to staying on psychiatric medication before she disappeared.

The last known sighting was with an ex-boyfriend who said they hiked together at the flumes in Paradise; he is currently considered a person of interest as the last person known to have been with her. Although Sara was officially reported missing after the 2018 Camp Fire, her family had not heard from her since 2016, and investigators now suspect foul play. The Butte County Sheriff’s Department continues to handle the investigation.

If anyone knew Sara, saw her in Paradise in mid-2016, or has information about the hike at the flumes, please contact the Butte County Sheriff’s Department.
