Santos Yat Tujin was 17 when she was last seen on the morning of March 30, 2022, in the 1000 block of River Walk Street in Fredericksburg, Virginia. A recent refugee from Guatemala, Santos had been placed with a sponsor family just five days before she disappeared. Reports indicate a vehicle arrived at the sponsor’s home in the early hours that morning and Santos left in that vehicle.

At the time she was last seen she was wearing a black puffy jacket, dark gray jeans, and pink sneakers with white soles, and carrying a dark blue and black backpack and a black cross-body purse. Much of her background and the circumstances that brought her to the United States remain private, and because she had only recently arrived it is unclear what local connections she may have had. Authorities say there is concern her departure may have been planned, but it is not known if she had relatives or other contacts nearby.

The Fredericksburg Police Department opened an investigation focused on the events of that morning and the unknown vehicle that arrived at the home. If anyone saw Santos on March 30, 2022, or has information about the vehicle or her possible contacts in the area, please share what is known with investigators.
