Antonia Dolores Araiza, known as Tootsie and Tonie, was 42 when her family last heard from her in November 1983. At that time she said she was in Watsonville, California and declined to return home despite her mother’s failing health. Family members had had regular phone contact before then but had not seen her in person since she was in Ajo, Arizona, in 1974.

Born December 19, 1940, Antonia is described as a Hispanic female, 5 feet 0 inches tall, about 125 pounds, with black hair and black almond-shaped eyes. Distinguishing marks include a scar across her left cheek and a long scar on her left forearm. She has used many aliases, including the first names Marty, Matilda, and Millie, and the last names Contreras, Madrigal, Munoz, and Wong Gomez.

Official records also show she had contact with the Stockton, California police on July 4, 1985, a detail that conflicts with the family’s last contact in 1983. Both Watsonville and Stockton police departments are involved and her whereabouts remain unknown. If anyone knew Antonia, her aliases, or saw her in Watsonville or Stockton in the 1980s, please come forward with information.
