Maria Pomona Cruz Estrada, 66, disappeared on June 7, 2008, while hiking in the Mojave National Preserve about 40 miles northwest of Needles, California. She was with a 64-year-old male companion; the pair separated at a fork in the trail to look for a vehicle they believed was in different locations. Maria was last seen around 6:00 p.m. in a ravine west of Fort Piute and never reached the designated meeting spot.

At the time she went missing Maria was not carrying food or water. She was wearing a white long-sleeved blouse, denim shorts, white sneakers, and a blue denim baseball cap with San Luis Obispo printed on it; she may also have been wearing a gold watch and a necklace. Extensive searches involving 22 searchers, helicopters, and search dogs failed to locate her. Maria was originally from the Philippines and had been visiting family in Blythe when she vanished.

What information might help narrow where she was last seen in the ravine, or who else was in the area that evening?
