Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29837) and 4 other sources
Yolanda Lopez, 36, was last seen on September 6, 2009, in San Clemente, California. She had been living at a friend's house since February of that year. On the day of her disappearance, she left the residence at around 7:40 A.M. and has not been seen or heard from since. Her friend later received a message from an unknown acquaintance, stating that Yolanda had returned to Mexico to live with her two adult sons. However, this information has never been confirmed.

Yolanda was described as a Hispanic female, standing 4'11" tall, weighing around 110 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, there were no immediate indications of her whereabouts, and the case remains unsolved.
