Maria Guadalupe Alvarez Bautista, 44, was last seen on May 13, 2018, in Mecca, California. Family reported her missing after she vanished sometime between 5:45 a.m. and 7 a.m. that morning. Later the same day her vehicle was found burned in the remote Box Canyon Road area; no human remains were located in the car.

Investigators initially said they did not suspect foul play despite the vehicle being torched. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department conducted an active search but has not developed significant leads. Maria is described as 4 feet 10 inches tall, 100 to 120 pounds, with brown eyes and long black hair.

Does anyone have information about Maria’s movements in Mecca on May 13, 2018, or recall seeing her vehicle on Box Canyon Road?
