Leticia Barrales Ramos, a 28-year-old mother from Winters, California, was last seen in the early hours of April 12, 2009. Neighbors heard an argument from the couple’s home, followed by a car door slamming. Her husband, Felipe Cruz Hernandez, initially said she had gone to Mexico for a family emergency, but Leticia had left behind her passport and more than $1,000 in cash.

Friends and family described her as a dedicated mother and worker; her employer reported her missing when she failed to show up for her jobs. Investigators found bloodstains inside the home that had been partially cleaned, and determined Cruz Hernandez was the last person known to have seen her amid an ongoing divorce and custody dispute.

Leticia’s body has not been recovered. Cruz Hernandez was convicted of second-degree murder in December 2009 and sentenced to 15 years to life. Does anyone have information about Leticia’s movements on April 12, 2009, or about items or witnesses that might still be relevant?
