The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has issued an urgent call for the public's help in tracking down Rubi Consepcion Pacifuentes, an at-risk woman who vanished earlier this week from West Valinda. According to a bulletin posted by the Sheriff's Information Bureau, the 46-year-old was last seen on the morning of December 12 on Van Wig Avenue and her family is expressing growing concern over her disappearance.
Pacifuentes is described as a 5-foot-1-inch, 110-pound Hispanic female with short brown hair and brown eyes. She usually wears glasses and was last spotted donning a blue sweater. The situation grows increasingly dire as the family reports that Pacifuentes is diabetic, emphasizing the critical nature of her need for medication. There has been no sign of her since the date of her disappearance.
