Overview

• Fifteen-year-old Joyce Kristin Albino disappeared July 22 from the Santa Rosa Junior College Petaluma campus after leaving class midway and abandoning her personal belongings.
• Petaluma police’s initial investigation yielded no breakthroughs, so the Santa Rosa Police Department has taken over the case based on her residence.
• Investigators say there is no evidence of foul play and are treating the case as a non-suspicious missing person inquiry.
• Bay Area acquaintances have reported multiple possible sightings, notably a July 22 sighting at Redwood City’s Andrew Spinas Park where she was seen entering a black Honda Accord with tinted windows, and other unconfirmed reports in San Rafael and San Francisco.
• Her parents have launched a #bringJoyceHome social media campaign, and Santa Rosa police are urging anyone with information to contact Detective Luigi Valencia at 707-543-4045 or [email protected].
