Antonia Dolores Araiza, also known by the nicknames "Tootsie" and "Tonie," was 42 years old when she was last heard from by her family in November 1983. At the time, she informed her family that she was in Watsonville, California. This was the last communication the family had with her, during which she declined to return home despite her mother's failing health. Prior to this, Araiza had maintained regular telephone contact with her family, though they had not seen her in person since she was in Ajo, Arizona, in 1974.
Born on December 19, 1940, Antonia is described as a Hispanic female with black hair and black, almond-shaped eyes. She is 5'0" tall and weighs approximately 125 pounds. Distinguishing marks include a scar across her left cheek and a long scar on her left forearm. Araiza has been known to use several aliases, including the first names Marty, Matilda, and Millie, and the last names Contreras, Madrigal, Munoz, and Wong Gomez.
While her family's last contact was in November 1983, official records indicate that Antonia Dolores Araiza had contact with the Stockton, California police on July 4, 1985. Few details about the circumstances of this interaction are publicly available. Due to the conflicting dates and locations of her last known contacts, both the Watsonville and Stockton Police Departments are involved in the investigation into her disappearance. Her case remains unresolved, and her current whereabouts are unknown.
