Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP21568) and 4 other sources
Marlene Nicole Gonzalez, a 9-year-old girl, was last seen on September 30, 2009, in Calexico, California. She is believed to have been abducted by her non-custodial mother, Angelica Gonzalez. A felony warrant was issued for Angelica's arrest on November 6, 2009. Authorities suspect that Angelica may have taken Marlene to various locations, including San Diego or Santa Barbara, California, or possibly to Baja California or Guadalajara, Mexico. They were last known to be traveling in a maroon 1999 or 2000 Nissan Sentra with tinted windows.

Marlene is described as a Hispanic female with black hair and brown eyes, and she has a noticeable scar on her right wrist. Her mother, Angelica, was 29 years old at the time and may have been using hazel-colored contact lenses. Angelica could be using an alias, such as Angie Orozco.

Despite the years since her disappearance, Marlene's case remains open, and authorities continue to ask the public for any information that could lead to her whereabouts. If you have any information, you're encouraged to contact the Calexico Police Department.
