Ana Lorena Barboza, 53, was last seen in the Oildale area of Bakersfield, California, near Norris Road on May 6, 2024. She was wearing a tan sweater, black leggings, and black Nike shoes. Ana’s disappearance is reported as completely out of character; she was close with her children and had not been out of contact before this.

Investigators from the Kern County Sheriff’s Office say Ana’s husband, Fabian Barbosa, was the last person known to have seen her. He first told police he had ordered an Uber for her, then later told Ana’s daughter that Ana left through a back door after an argument at his auto shop. Detectives found no record of an Uber request on his phone. The family reports prior allegations of domestic violence, savings Ana had been keeping to leave her husband are missing, and blood was discovered in the hallway of the couple’s home.

The community has mobilized online under the hashtag Justice for Ana Lorena, and a reward of up to $10,000 has been offered for information. Anyone who knew Ana or has information about her movements on May 6, 2024, is urged to come forward.
