Laura Caballero Conde, 36, was last seen on August 16, 2021, in Arbuckle, California, after recently moving out of her parents’ home following an argument. She had been living independently for a few weeks and then disappeared along with her one-year-old Belgian Malinois dog, Mala. At disappearance she was described as 5 feet 1 inch, about 115 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a tan shirt, a long skirt, sunglasses and a head covering.

Several personal items were missing from her residence, including a tent and a camping stove, which suggests she may have taken them. In the weeks before she vanished her behavior had been described as unusual — wearing sunglasses indoors and covering her skin — possibly linked to a religious influence encountered online; concerns about her mental health at the time have been raised. The Colusa County Sheriff’s Department continues to seek information about her whereabouts.

If anyone knew Laura, saw her or Mala around mid-August 2021, or has information that might help locate them, please come forward to the Sheriff’s Department.
