On a summer evening in Baldwin Park, California, 28-year-old Adriana Beas Cruz was last seen at her residence on July 28, 2008. A few days later, on August 3, 2008, her husband reported her missing to the Baldwin Park Police Department. At the time of her disappearance, Adriana, who was also known by the nickname Maguerita, was described as a Hispanic female, 5'3" tall and weighing approximately 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. When she was last seen around 8:30 p.m., she was reportedly wearing a red shirt and a white skirt, along with a cross necklace.
Adriana's case is classified as an endangered missing person. She has several distinct tattoos that could aid in her identification. These include a Minnie Mouse on her right calf, a tribal tattoo on her back, a ying-yang symbol on her lower back, and a butterfly on her left forearm. Another source also mentions a compass tattooed on her left calf.
While dental records are available to authorities, it is unknown if her fingerprints or DNA are on file. The California Department of Justice lists her date of last contact as July 27, 2008, a day earlier than other reports.
The days leading up to her being reported missing and the circumstances of her disappearance remain concerning to investigators and her loved ones. The lack of information about her whereabouts after she was last seen at her home has left many questions unanswered. The Baldwin Park Police Department is the investigating agency for her case. The investigation into what happened to Adriana Beas Cruz is a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish without a trace. Her case, documented under Doe Network case file 5609DFCA and NamUs case number 159504, represents a painful and unresolved chapter for her family and community, who continue to hope for answers.Last Seen: Jul 28, 2008
