Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4552) and 6 other sources
Lillian Irene Estrada, a 16-year-old girl, went missing from her home in Spring Valley, California, on September 29, 1990. She was last seen wearing a black jacket, black shirt, and black pants. Lillian stood 5'1" tall, weighed around 105 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes. A distinguishing feature noted was an L-shaped scar near her elbow.

Although classified as an endangered runaway at the time, few details have emerged about the circumstances of her disappearance, and her case remains unsolved. Efforts to find her, including an age progression image showing how she might have looked at 37 years of age, have yielded no significant leads. Her case is still under investigation by the San Diego Sheriff's Department.
