Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12348) and 5 other sources
Laura Negrete Cerda, 35, was last seen on January 1, 2010, when she left her home in San Rafael, California, intending to visit friends in San Jose, about 65 miles away. Laura informed her husband that she would return the following day. She did not drive and typically used public transportation, planning to take a Greyhound bus. However, there is no record of her purchasing a ticket or boarding the bus.

At the time of her disappearance, Laura was described as standing 5'1" and weighing around 240 pounds, with red hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt and black pants. Laura has a scar on her left cheek and pierced ears. Her case remains unsolved, with very few details available regarding what may have happened to her after she left her home. While some reports suggest the possibility of her leaving to be with a boyfriend, both Laura and this individual have not been heard from since that day.

The San Rafael Police Department continues to investigate Laura's disappearance, and her family hopes for any information that could lead to her whereabouts.
