Maria De Los Angeles Martinez, 18, disappeared from Phoenix after answering a babysitting ad in October 1990. She placed the ad on October 12; the next morning, October 13, about 10:00 a.m., a man came to her family’s home and picked her up. Maria left wearing a green and black jumpsuit. She had black hair, brown eyes, pierced ears, a mole on her nose and a four-inch scar on her right forearm.

Shortly after leaving, Maria called her parents in a frantic phone call and asked them to come and get her, but she was cut off before she could give a location or describe the man. Her family never saw her again. The identity of the man who responded to the ad is unknown. The Phoenix Police Department continues to list the case as active.

Did anyone in Phoenix remember seeing Maria that morning or know who answered babysitting ads in that neighborhood?
