Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19992) and 4 other sources
Kimberly Portillo, a 39-year-old woman from San Francisco, California, was last seen on the night of October 19, 1998, at Ocean Beach. Kimberly, who suffered from mental health issues, had been walking along the beach with her husband around 10:00 p.m. when he briefly left her to get a cup of coffee. Upon his return, Kimberly had disappeared without a trace, and she has not been seen or heard from since.

At the time of her disappearance, Kimberly was wearing a blue hooded jacket, a white shirt with blue flowers, stonewashed jeans, and white Nike sneakers. She is described as being 5'4" tall, weighing about 80 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Despite initial searches and investigations, no substantial clues have emerged regarding her whereabouts.

The case remains unsolved, and while authorities continue to maintain her file as open, there have been no significant developments over the years. Kimberly’s disappearance generated minimal media attention, and few details are available. Investigators urge anyone with information to contact the San Francisco Police Department.
