Clarisa Diego Gaspar was an infant when she disappeared from Cookeville, Tennessee on August 31, 2020. Reports say she had been handed over in an informal, undocumented adoption that month to an adult woman who has never been identified. There are no legal records of the transfer, and investigators have no firm address or description of the person who took her.

The Cookeville Police Department opened the investigation but has faced severe limitations because the usual documentary trail does not exist. Authorities have relied on public appeals and community leads, but without a known caregiver or paperwork there is no clear starting point for a search.

The absence of identifying information about the woman last seen with Clarisa remains the central obstacle; otherwise the only confirmed details are the child’s name, her approximate age as an infant, the date August 31, 2020, and the city. Does anyone in Cookeville from that time remember an infant being informally placed with a stranger or have information about the woman who took Clarisa?
