Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1290) and 9 other sources
Maria Gabriela Medina, a 19-year-old woman, was last seen on March 3, 1989, in Los Angeles, California. At the time of her disappearance, Maria was working near the intersection of East 6th Street and South Los Angeles Street. She left her job around 1:00 p.m. to search for new employment in the area of 9th Street and Los Angeles Street. Unfortunately, she never returned and has not been heard from since.

Maria is described as a Hispanic female, 5'1" tall, weighing around 115 pounds, with long brown hair and brown eyes. Notable distinguishing features include an eight-inch birthmark on her left thigh and a smaller birthmark on her left foot. On the day she went missing, she was wearing a black skirt, a gray sweater with a black stripe, and beige shoes, and was carrying a black purse. Despite extensive searches and investigations by the Los Angeles Police Department, her case remains unsolved.

Over the years, her family and authorities have continued to seek answers, and age-progressed images of what she might look like today have been released to assist in the search. Her case is still active, with the hope that new information will emerge to solve her disappearance. Anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts is encouraged to contact the authorities.
