She Vanished In 2020 But Wasn’t Reported Missing Until Her Family Realized They Hadn’t Heard From Her In Months
In 2020, Diana Rose Alejandre was a 31-year-old mother of five living in Winterhaven, California. There, she and her girlfriend, Danielle Medeen, shared a home.
Yet, after she was last seen at her house early that year, Diana mysteriously disappeared – leaving her cell phone, purse, and other personal belongings behind.
Diana was not officially reported missing until June 30, 2020, when her aunt contacted the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office. Her loved ones decided to file a missing person’s report once they realized that no one had heard from Diana since April 2020.
However, authorities believe that Diana was last seen at her home sometime in May 2020 before she vanished.
Since then, she has never been seen or heard from again, and her disappearance has remained unsolved for over four years.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Diana was known to travel between Winterhaven, Yuma, and Mexico. But her loved ones claimed that she would not just cut off communication and abandon her family.
“She’s gone through some tough times in life. I’m not going to lie and say she’s perfect. But she would never give up on her kids. She always had some sort of contact with her family. This just isn’t like her,” said Diana’s aunt, Jenny Espino.
Miguel Verdugo, an investigator from Imperial County Sheriff’s Office, shared some details regarding the investigation into Diana’s disappearance.
“During the first initial report, there was a report made as far as Diana having issues with her partner – as far as domestic issues – but nothing that led as far as kidnapping,” he said.

“During her disappearance, multiple efforts were made in order to attempt to locate her. Despite all those efforts, Diana still remains missing.”
Nonetheless, there are few other publicly available details about Diana’s case.
After she went missing, her loved ones created a Facebook page entitled Help Find Diana Rose Alejandre Garcia Gonzalez to raise awareness about her disappearance. Additionally, Diana’s family and friends spearheaded a search of Winterhaven in October 2020. But unfortunately, no evidence or leads were found.
The FBI has since offered a $10,000 reward for any information leading to Diana’s discovery.
“If she is out there, hopefully, somebody runs up to her, or she gets in contact with any law enforcement agency or somebody that can put out a word as far as her location and her whereabouts,” Verdugo stated.
At the time she vanished, Diana was five foot three, weighed 250 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes.
She also had various tattoos – including the names Isabella, Valarie, Evelyn, Michael, and Nathaniel – on her right arm, as well as the name Gavino on her right ankle.
If you have any information regarding her disappearance or whereabouts, you are urged to contact the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office Investigation Unit at (442) 265-2000.
