Melissa Ann Espinoza was 12 when she disappeared from Rancho Cordova, California, on December 2, 1993. The night before she left, she argued with her mother and walked out late; she was last seen about 3:00 a.m. sitting on the hood of a car near an apartment complex on White Rock Road. The complex was described as having dangerous surroundings and known for drug activity. Melissa had lived there earlier that year but her family had moved after a fire.

Her family said Melissa had run away before after fights but always returned quickly; she was close to her younger brother and called her grandmother daily, which made this absence especially alarming. The disappearance has been classified as a non-family abduction and foul play is strongly suspected. Investigators including the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office have followed leads and produced age-progressed images, but no confirmed information or suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Rancho Cordova near White Rock Road in December 1993 see Melissa or recall unusual activity that night?
