Elissa Frances Villa, 31, was last seen on November 1, 2012, in Santa Barbara, California. She had been living a transient lifestyle in the area but stayed in occasional contact with family and friends until communications stopped after November 2012.

At the time she disappeared Villa was described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 110 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and a scar on her abdomen from childbirth. There are few details about the circumstances of her disappearance, but her sudden loss of contact with loved ones prompted concern.

The Santa Barbara Police Department is handling the investigation and is asking anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew where Elissa spent her time in late 2012 or has information about her last contacts, please share what you know.
