Adriana Lisette Rojas, a 17-year-old from Rowland Heights, California, went missing on May 7, 1996. On the day of her disappearance, she called her mother, stating she was going to rest at home before attending an evening class. Her brother later heard the front door slam, and Adriana was gone, leaving behind several personal items, including her purse, money, and a half-eaten sandwich. Despite being close to her family, Adriana had been acting strangely in the months leading up to her disappearance, not ordering her graduation cap and gown and distancing herself from her siblings.
There is some speculation that she may have run away, as she had done previously, though this time she took nothing with her. Her mother believes Adriana left voluntarily, though there were concerns of potential foul play. Law enforcement also considered the possibility of abduction. Despite extensive searches and investigations, Adriana has never been found, and her case remains open, with age-progressed images showing what she might look like today.
If you have any information, authorities encourage you to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Adriana's family continues to seek closure and answers for her sudden and unexplained disappearance.
Last Seen: Jul 23, 1996
