Ruby Ann Guzman, a 34-year-old woman from Santa Maria, California, was last heard from on January 12, 2016. Her family last physically saw her on October 1, 2015, but she sent a final text message on January 12, after which she vanished without further communication. Guzman was described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 145 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She had distinguishing tattoos, including a tribal tattoo on her back and floral tattoos on her left wrist.

At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly wearing several distinctive pieces of jewelry, including three white metal rings, a bracelet with multicolored stones, and a beaded necklace. Despite efforts by the Santa Maria Police Department to locate her, very few details have emerged about her case, and it remains unsolved.

Guzman's family and authorities continue to seek any information that might help uncover what happened to her. As time passes, her case remains classified as a missing person case, with ongoing investigations into her whereabouts.
