Antonia Dolores Araiza, age 44, was last heard from in November 1983, when she was living in Watsonville, California. Her family last saw her in Ajo, Arizona in 1974, but she kept in touch by phone over the years. The final communication occurred when Araiza informed her family she could not return home, despite her mother being gravely ill. Araiza was reportedly in Watsonville at that time. After this, her family never heard from her again.
Although her family lost contact with her in 1983, Araiza had a documented interaction with law enforcement in Stockton, California on July 4, 1985. This was the last confirmed sighting, and her whereabouts have remained a mystery ever since. Araiza had distinctive features, including a scar on her cheek and forearm, and she was known to use several aliases. Despite the passage of time, her case remains unsolved, with both Watsonville and Stockton police investigating her disappearance.
Authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward, as the case is still open and unresolved.
Last Seen: Jul 04, 1985
