Jennifer Raina Byers-Hernandez, 31, was last seen August 20, 2008, in Modesto, California. She was 5 feet 6 inches, about 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Distinguishing marks include a scar on her lower lip, scars on her left hand and lower abdomen, and tattoos on her left hand, wrist, and left breast.

Jennifer disappeared with her 5-year-old son, Gerardo Barajas Jr. The last contact with family was a phone call in August 2008 to a relative who was in the hospital. Both Jennifer and Gerardo are believed possibly to be in Mexico, but there have been no confirmed sightings and little is known about the circumstances of their disappearance.

The case remains open and law enforcement continues to seek information. If anyone knew Jennifer’s movements in August 2008 or has information about Gerardo’s whereabouts, please come forward.
