Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36558) and 3 other sources
Vickie Ramona Baliel, age 40, was last seen on August 24, 1997, in Hemet, California. She left her residence on West Central Avenue around 9:00 p.m. and never returned. Vickie suffers from multiple medical conditions, including depression, schizophrenia, and high ammonia levels in her liver, which can cause disorientation if she does not take her required medications. Her family and authorities were concerned that without her medication, she might become confused or even fall into a coma.

Vickie is described as 5'4" to 5'5" tall, weighing 170 pounds, with graying brown hair and brown eyes. She often wore eyeglasses, and her left little toe noticeably protruded. At the time of her disappearance, she was last seen wearing a white shirt and white shorts. Despite extensive search efforts, Vickie has not been found, and her case remains unsolved. Authorities have noted that the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are suspicious, but there are very few details available.

The Hemet Police Department continues to investigate her case, and her family is still hoping for answers. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement to help solve the mystery of her disappearance.

Last Seen: Aug 24, 1997
