Maria Giovanna Evangelista, a 36-year-old woman, went missing on January 28, 1997, in San Francisco, California. Originally from Montreal, Canada, Maria had recently traveled to California after expressing to her family that she did not want to return to a psychiatric hospital in Montreal. Shortly after arriving in San Francisco, she stayed at a hotel where her belongings were later found abandoned on February 7, 1997.
Maria has not been seen or heard from since her disappearance, and the circumstances remain unclear. Despite efforts by law enforcement agencies in both San Francisco and Montreal, there have been no significant leads in the investigation. Maria is described as a Hispanic woman with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'2" and weighing approximately 145 pounds.
Her case is still open, and authorities continue to seek any information that could help bring resolution to her family, who remain hopeful for answers after all these years. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the San Francisco Police Department.Last Seen: Jan 28, 1997
