Marta Alicia Michel, aged 49, was last seen on January 19, 2013, at a bus stop in the 2800 block of Maple Street in Los Angeles, California. Earlier that evening, she had left the Casa India Restaurant at 4th and Broadway around 10 p.m. and was spotted waiting for a bus around midnight. Marta, a mother of three, never returned home and has not been heard from since.
Her disappearance was troubling for her family, who initially believed Marta worked part-time at the restaurant, only to later discover she had never been employed there but was a frequent customer. Marta was not carrying identification at the time, and she did not own a cellphone, making her difficult to trace. She was suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, and it was confirmed she did not have her required medication with her. Her family strongly suspects foul play, as it was completely uncharacteristic of Marta to leave without any warning or contact.
Marta is described as 4'11" tall, weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She also has a limp due to a swollen knee, a split left earlobe, and a dark mole on her left hand. She might have used the aliases Sonia Escobar or Sonia Michel. Despite extensive efforts by her family and authorities, her case remains unsolved, and little information has surfaced regarding her whereabouts.
Her family continues to search for answers, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department.Last Seen: Jan 19, 2013
