Claudia Berenice Guillen, 21, and her young daughter, Claudia Jareth Guillen, were last seen together at a store in Yuma, Arizona, on November 24, 2004, a day the family intended to gather. Their grandmother’s car, which Claudia had been driving, was found abandoned in front of that same store. Concern grew when neither returned and could not be reached; the grandmother reported them missing after learning the car had been towed.

Investigators developed a suspicion of foul play early in the inquiry. Claudia’s boyfriend, Ricardo Salgado, was identified as a person of interest; reports note a history of domestic violence. Salgado was interviewed by the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office, later left for Mexico, and was located and questioned there, but provided no information that led to Claudia or her daughter.

Both remain missing and the case is still open with detectives seeking information that could explain what happened. Did anyone in Yuma see Claudia and her daughter on November 24, 2004, or know where they might have gone after leaving the store?
