Jennifer Raina Byers-hernandez, 31, was last heard from in August 2008 and is still missing from Modesto, California, along with her five-year-old son, Gerardo Barajas Jr.

At the time she disappeared she was described as a Caucasian female, brown hair (may dye it blonde), blue eyes, 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 140 pounds. Distinguishing marks include scars on her lower lip, left hand and lower abdomen, and tattoos on her left hand, left wrist and writing on her left breast. She speaks fluent Spanish and uses the names Jen, Raina and aliases Jennifer Raina Barajas, Jennifer Raina Byers and Raina Hernandez.

There is no public information about what they were wearing, whether a vehicle was involved, or their current whereabouts; tips have suggested they may be in Mexico but that is unconfirmed.

If anyone knew Jennifer or Gerardo, or has verified information about where they might be, please share what is known with the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office.
