Nydia Dominique Mendez, 26, was last in routine contact with family in May 2022 and then fell out of touch. Concern grew quietly through the summer as there were no confirmed sightings or communications, and on October 11, 2022 she was reported missing to the Los Angeles Police Department. She is Hispanic, brown hair, brown eyes, five feet two inches, about 135 pounds.

The Adult Missing Persons Unit is handling the investigation and her information was entered into NamUs under case number MP159402. The several-month gap between her last known contact and the report is a central complication in building a timeline and locating her.

If anyone in Los Angeles saw or heard from Nydia after May 2022, or has information about her last known movements, please share what you know with the LAPD.
