- Distinguishing Characteristics Hispanic female. Black hair, brown eyes. Cecilia’s maiden name is Amaya. Her ears are pierced. She was born in El Salvador.
- Details of Disappearance:
- Cecilia and her young son, Rene, vanished from their Los Angeles apartment on September 20, 1994. Cecilia’s husband, Alfredo, came home to find them gone, their car parked on the street, and a simple goodbye note left behind. Surprisingly, Cecilia left her wedding rings in the car and neither she nor Rene took any belongings.
Three days later, Alfredo received a letter claiming Cecilia ran off with a doctor named Arturo to Honduras. Police think this letter is fake.
Cecilia’s friends say she was happy and wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye. Because of the strange circumstances—leaving behind belongings and the suspicious letter—police suspect something bad happened to Cecilia and Rene. They believe Alfredo may know more than he’s letting on, but he says he thinks they left him.
