Maria Gaminde, 44, of DeBary, Florida, has been missing since January 1, 2024. She was last seen leaving her home in the early hours of New Year’s Day and did not return or make contact, which her family says was out of character. Authorities opened an investigation soon after she was reported missing.

Search efforts have included local law enforcement and volunteer groups; the family has distributed flyers and worked with the community to gather information. The case has drawn notable attention from the local and national Filipino-American community, where calls for support and prayers have circulated.

If anyone in DeBary or the surrounding area saw Maria on or after January 1, 2024, or has information about where she might be, please come forward to assist the family and investigators.
