Virgie Baliton, a 41-year-old Filipino woman, was last seen on May 13, 2017, in Berkeley, California. Baliton had been working as a live-in caregiver for a family in Hong Kong for 14 years, primarily attending to an 80-year-old woman. She traveled with her employer to the United States to attend the employer's granddaughter's graduation ceremony at the University of California, Berkeley.
On the day of her disappearance, the group was at a campus café, Cafe Strada, around 9 a.m. when Baliton mentioned she needed to find a restroom. However, the café's restroom was out of order, so she left to search for another nearby. She never returned and has not been seen or heard from since. Her employers and authorities are concerned, especially as Baliton was unfamiliar with the area and the United States.
The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear. Investigators have not found evidence of foul play, and no significant leads have emerged from the investigation. Her family, as well as her employers, remain deeply worried about her safety. Despite efforts by the University of California, Berkeley Police Department, her case is still unsolved, and she is listed as an endangered missing person.
Baliton's case is unusual in its lack of information, and her sudden disappearance without a trace continues to perplex investigators. Her disappearance has left both the authorities and her loved ones searching for answers, with the hope that someone may come forward with information that could lead to her whereabouts.Last Seen: May 13, 2017
