Sunshine Amber Pineiro, 50, was last seen in Cottonwood, California on December 1, 2024. Her family reports this long lapse in contact is uncharacteristic for her nomadic lifestyle, prompting an active missing person investigation by the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office. She is described as White, 5 feet 7 inches, about 124 pounds, with brown hair, green eyes and a scar on her chest. She may have been driving a 2012 Subaru Impreza with a California plate, but it is not confirmed whether she still has that vehicle. Nicknames listed include Reed, Sunshine, and Amber; clothing at the time of disappearance has not been released. Her case is entered in NamUS as MP158334. Few details are available about the circumstances of her disappearance beyond the family’s concern over the unusual silence.

Did anyone in the Cottonwood area see Sunshine or that Subaru around December 1, 2024, or since then?
