Police are asking for the public’s help in searching for a young woman who vanished earlier this week.
According to the Sacramento Bee, Janet Mejia, 28, who lives in the Foothill Farms area of Sacramento County, was last seen leaving her home. Her roommate reported her missing on Tuesday evening,
Police found Mejia’s car on Wednesday, about a 15 minute drive from where she lives.
Ed Mills, vice president for Student Affairs at Sacramento State, told the Sacramento Bee that the young woman earned a degree in American Sign Language and deaf studies from the university last year.
“We are all extremely concerned for her and hope she is safe and will be found very soon,” Mills said.
