Blanca Soriano de Hernandez was 30 when she was last seen around August 1, 2005, in the Sasabe area of Pima County on the U.S.-Mexico border. Described as Hispanic, 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches tall and 200 to 220 pounds, she had facial scars from a previous vehicle accident. When last seen she reportedly wore a white t-shirt, a long black shirt, long underwear and blue tennis shoes, and was wearing a ring.

Reports say Blanca was traveling with a group and was left behind for unclear reasons. She is believed to have tried walking toward a place called Santa Rosa. Fragmentary accounts mention a fire near a body, a crashed aircraft in the area and a friend building a signal fire west of Kitt Peak. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is listed as the investigating agency. Little concrete information has emerged and her whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Blanca, traveled in the Sasabe or west Kitt Peak area in early August 2005, or has information about the reported signal fire or aircraft crash, please come forward.
