Susana Torres-Salto, 29, was last seen on April 11, 2021, outside Richy’s Mini Mart in the 600 block of Butte Avenue in Modesto, California. Surveillance footage reportedly shows her estranged husband, Javier Chavez, pointing an object at her as she entered a silver 2009 Chevrolet Impala (California plate 7RTB273). Her two sons were in the car; they were later left at Chavez’s parents’ house before he fled.

Just days before the disappearance Torres-Salto had obtained a temporary restraining order against Chavez and had been granted full custody of their 3-year-old son. There was an active warrant for Chavez on a marital rape charge at the time, and another warrant was subsequently issued for kidnapping. Investigators say a lack of physical evidence has hampered the inquiry; GPS data briefly placed Chavez near a Southern California body of water that was searched with no remains found. The family has continued public advocacy, holding a vigil one year after she vanished. Her older son, then nine, is with a cousin; the younger son lives with paternal grandparents.

What information might help locate Susana or anyone who saw the Impala on April 11, 2021?
