Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP96562) and 4 other sources
Loiene Garbett, 28 years old at the time, was last seen on January 1, 1992, in Chula Vista, California. Her disappearance is considered suspicious, though the details surrounding the case remain unclear. Garbett was described as a Caucasian female, 5'5" tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was known to have a masculine appearance and may have used the name Lorene, along with the middle initial "A."

Very little is known about the circumstances of her disappearance, and despite multiple updates to the case file over the years, her whereabouts remain unknown. The Chula Vista Police Department is investigating the case, which has been classified as endangered missing. As of now, there has been no significant progress, and her case remains unsolved.

Her family and investigators still seek any potential leads that could shed light on what happened to her. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the authorities.
