Maria Haydee Gonzalez, 65, was last seen on August 15, 2025, in Ocala, Florida, and is being treated as an endangered missing person. Accounts differ on her last known location: one report says a friend dropped her at a convenience store, while law enforcement says she was seen about 10:30 p.m. in front of her home on NW Gainesville Road. Gonzalez does not drive, and it is unclear whether she left on foot or was picked up by someone.

She is described as a Hispanic female with brown hair and brown eyes, about 4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet 0 inches tall and 100 to 110 pounds. At disappearance she was wearing a black tank top, a blue skirt, and slippers. Authorities say she was diagnosed with cancer and other mental health conditions and did not have her necessary medications with her; her cellphone has been disconnected and there has been no bank activity since August 15.

If anyone saw Maria that night, knows where she might have gone, or has information that could help locate her, contact the Marion County Sheriff’s Office at 732-8181 or call 911.
