Marlane Koue Castaneda, 54, of Oceanside, California, was last seen October 1, 2012, at a Pizza Port restaurant in Carlsbad. She had regular contact with her daughter Maya, but the calls stopped that day. Her cellphone and bank accounts have shown no activity since, and she was last seen driving a beige Dodge Grand Caravan.

Family dynamics were strained: earlier in 2012 Marlane obtained a three-year restraining order against her husband’s grandfather, alleging physical abuse. Her husband, Sergio Eric Castaneda, has cooperated with investigators but has been difficult to reach for further questions. There is no immediate evidence of foul play reported and the case remains unsolved.

Marlane is described as 5 feet 5 inches, about 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to come forward.
