Fresno investigators have labeled the disappearance of Missy Hernandez 'suspicious'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Missy Hernandez, a 30-year-old California woman known for frequenting Fresno’s pop-up art fair scene, has now been missing for three weeks.
Investigators have ruled her disappearance "suspicious" and described it as "unusual." She has a 12-year-old daughter and regularly appears in the public eye.
"Missy is a very social person who is out in the public view regularly, so for her to not be responsive or seen was considered unusual," said Tony Botti, a spokesperson for the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. "We are now three weeks removed from her being seen or spoken with."
