Krista Maria De La Rosa was 19 when she vanished from Portland, Oregon, in early summer 1990. She was last seen on July 2, 1990, getting into a cream or ivory-colored 1980s-model sedan with a vinyl top, driven by an African American man a friend later described as in his thirties with a thin mustache and slender build. The witness saw the car head northbound from Southeast 130th Avenue and Division Street.

Krista sometimes used the nickname Katita. She left a note for her parents saying she needed space and that she would keep in touch, but she never contacted them again. She did not return to work at Tom Peterson’s and left money in her bank account; there has been no DMV, Social Security, or other official activity since her disappearance. Krista was 5 feet 3 inches and 125 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, pierced ears and a mole on the right side of her upper lip.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office has an open case and detectives have periodically reviewed the file. Age-progressed photos have been circulated to aid identification. Who saw Krista or that car in Portland around July 2, 1990, or can add details about the man who drove away with her?
