Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP26086) and 5 other sources
Maria De Jesus Valdovinos, a 50-year-old woman, was last seen on February 8, 1991, at her home in Los Angeles, California. At the time of her disappearance, Maria was wearing a blue blouse, gray pants, and white Reebok sneakers. She may have been wearing a gold wedding band. Standing at 5'3" and weighing approximately 195 pounds, she has brown eyes and dark brown hair. Maria also used the last name "Arreola."

The details surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, as there have been no significant leads or updates since she was last seen. The Los Angeles Police Department has been handling her case, which remains unsolved after more than three decades. Despite being missing for so long, there is still hope that new information might surface, and investigators continue to appeal to the public for any clues regarding her whereabouts. Her case is still actively listed in missing persons databases like NamUs.

Her family and law enforcement hope for a breakthrough, as no significant developments have been reported since her initial disappearance.
Last Seen: Feb 8, 1991
