- Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Gray hair, blue eyes. Lopes has scars on both ears and a Cesarean section scar on her abdomen. She smokes cigarettes. She is originally from London, England and speaks with a slight British accent.
- Details of Disappearance:
- On August 28, 2008, Lopes disappeared from her home in a large, gated community in Escondido, California. Her husband last saw her around midnight. Later that morning, around 10:30 am, she was seen at a house where her son used to live, a short walk away. The new homeowner asked her to leave, and later called the police because Lopes was gone.
Lopes has never been found. Her niece’s puppy was found nearby, suggesting she might have been walking the dog and got lost. While she had wandered off before, it was never for very long. Her family was going to get her a tracker, but she vanished first. Because she didn’t have a car, she likely walked away. Police searched the area thoroughly, but found nothing. Even though the community has security cameras at the entrance, they didn’t capture her leaving. The case remains a mystery.
