Katherine Mary Neitzke, 31, of Romoland, California, was last seen on June 22, 2019. That day she made a frantic call to a friend asking for help but never followed up; she has not been seen or heard from since. Her family reported her missing in December 2019. She is 5 feet 3 inches, about 200 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and several distinctive tattoos, including the words Live, Laugh, Love on her chest.

Authorities and family strongly suspect foul play. In January 2022 Katherine’s boyfriend, Hugo Leonel Hernandez, was arrested and charged with her murder. A witness stated Hernandez strangled Katherine and, with an accomplice, disposed of her body; searches in the Lake Elsinore area have not recovered remains. Her whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Katherine’s movements in June 2019 or has information about the Lake Elsinore searches, please share what you know with investigators.
