Woodburn, Oregon, investigators and family are seeking information about 16-year-old Damaris Escalante Lopez, last seen leaving her school at about 3:30 p.m. on January 8, 2025. She is Hispanic or Latino, 5 feet tall, about 100 pounds, with long thin black hair to her hips and brown eyes. When last seen she wore a purple blouse, a black sweater, blue jeans and white shoes, and carried a black backpack.
Concerns grew after reports that Damaris had spoken about wanting to return to Guatemala and that she might be pregnant. After leaving school she did not return to her home in Woodburn. A possible sighting in Laramie, Wyoming, has been mentioned but remains unconfirmed. The Woodburn Police Department is handling the investigation under case number 25-369, and efforts to locate her are ongoing.
