Jolissa Fuentes missing: Family pleads for help as reward for information raised to $5000

Jolissa Fuentes, 22, a lady from California, has reportedly been missing since Sunday, August 7.

Jolissa Fuentes’ family claims that she vanished after stopping at an AM/PM gas station on Nebraska Avenue in Selma, California. The Selma Police Department is not currently looking into the matter as an abduction despite indications of wrongdoing.

Fuentes was last seen driving a gray 2011 Hyundai Accent with the license plate 8MPU766, according to ABC. The car hasn’t been located yet.

The Fuentes family initially offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the location of their daughter. According to KMJNOW, this figure kept increasing as a result of a lack of leads. It ultimately rose to $2,000 and is currently $5,000.

What happened to Jolissa Fuentes? Details about her disappearance

Jolissa’s relatives said that just prior to going missing, she had attended a party and gone to her grandmother’s house to get a suitcase and some cash. The 22-year-old was last seen on camera at Selma’s AM/PM gas station at 4:06 a.m. on Sunday, when she was seen buying a snack and leaving the location in a car.

Her father Joey Fuentes claimed in a Fox News Digital interview that he thought his daughter had been kidnapped and that it was unusual for her to go for such a long time without telling her family.

Norma Nunez, Jolissa’s mother, claimed that she too believes that foul play may have been involved and that her daughter’s unexpected disappearance was not consistent with her regular behavior:

Although the call remained unanswered, Nunez acknowledged that Jolissa Fuentes called her sister at 5:26 AM on Sunday. This was her final call that was captured on tape.

Additionally, the Fuentes family revealed to Fox News that Jolissa frequently traveled through a remote area of Selma where she was said to like the scenery.

Authorities are still looking into the incident and are collaborating with Jolissa Fuentes’ family to determine where her phone was last seen.
