Erika Limon was 16 when she was last seen on July 22, 1999, in Long Beach, California. Around 6:45 p.m. she was outside her family’s apartment complex on North Long Beach Boulevard speaking with an unidentified woman; she has not been seen or heard from since. At the time she disappeared Erika was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jean shorts, and blue tennis shoes.

Authorities initially considered that she might have run away, but no concrete evidence supports that theory. There were reportedly no signs of foul play, though investigators have not ruled out other possibilities. The Long Beach Police Department is the primary investigating agency and the family has circulated age-progressed images as they continue to seek answers.

If anyone remembers seeing Erika that evening or recognizes the unidentified woman, please contact the Long Beach Police Department with any information.
