WASHINGTON, D.C.
— A 40-year-old woman who left her Northeast home Friday morning and never returned is now the subject of a critical missing person investigation that has crossed into neighboring Maryland.
Ana Escobar-Arevalo was last seen around 7:20 a.m. on May 30 leaving her residence in the 5800 block of 8th Street NE. She was driving a blue 2008 Honda CR-V with DC license plate EB 2261. Authorities believe she may have traveled into Charles County, Maryland, following her last confirmed sighting.
Escobar-Arevalo is described as a Hispanic female, 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 142 pounds, with a light complexion, long brown hair, and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing black pants, a black sweater, and black shoes.
She was reported missing to police the same day she vanished, and detectives from the Missing Persons Unit are actively working the case. Investigators have released a photograph of Escobar-Arevalo along with an image of her vehicle.
The public is being asked to report any sightings or information related to her disappearance immediately.
