Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP31113) and 2 other sources
Maria Coronado, 38, went missing on June 24, 1990, while on a family vacation in Mexico. She had traveled with her husband and three of her children, leaving behind her oldest son. On June 23, 1990, Maria contacted her son to inform him that the family was leaving Guadalajara and heading to Manzanillo, Colima. The following day, according to her husband, the couple had an argument, after which Maria stormed off and was never seen again. Her husband and children returned to West Covina on June 28, 1990, without her.

Despite investigations, Maria has remained missing, and no conclusive evidence has surfaced regarding her whereabouts. She is described as 5'4" tall, weighing around 140 pounds, with brown hair. Her case remains unsolved, and investigators are continuing to seek information that may lead to understanding what happened to her.
