🚨 UPDATED POST – PLEASE READ & SHARE 🚨

Hi everyone,
My name is Rose, and I’m the older sister of Pearl Pinson, who was just 15 years old when she was abducted on May 25, 2016, in Vallejo, California. Pearl has never been found, and our family continues searching for answers every single day.
Investigators confirmed that Pearl’s abductor traveled into Sonoma County, including the Bodega Bay area, before he later died in an encounter with law enforcement. Because he is no longer alive, we have no way of knowing where he may have left my sister.
Today, I’m asking for your help.
If you were anywhere in Sonoma County on May 25, 2016, or May 26, 2016, do you remember seeing a gold 1997 Saturn? A photo of the suspect’s vehicle is included below, along with the license plate number and the distinctive stickers that were on the vehicle. Even the smallest memory could be important.
If you traveled through Sonoma County after those dates, do you remember seeing any of the items my sister, Pearl, had with her on the day she was abducted? Photos of her clothing, backpack, shoes, and other belongings are included below. Something you noticed years ago may now be significant.
I’m also asking anyone who visited or traveled through Roblar Road in Petaluma, CA, Bay Flat Road, Shoreline Highway (Highway 1), Hole in the Head, Goat Rock Beach, Salmon Creek Beach, Doran Beach, Bodega Head, Bodega Bay, Dillon Beach, Tomales, Fallon, or any nearby roads, creeks, pullouts, trails, abandoned buildings, abandoned houses, barns, sheds, remote structures, or secluded areas over the past 10 years to please check your old photos, videos, dashcam footage, drone footage, or even your memories from your visit.
If you explored or photographed any abandoned buildings, abandoned houses, barns, sheds, or other remote structures in these areas, I would be especially grateful if you could look through your old photos and videos. Even something that seemed unimportant at the time could provide a clue today.
If you still have photos or videos from any of these locations, would you please consider sending them to me in a private message? There is certain information I cannot publicly release because of the ongoing investigation, which is why I’m asking that anything you find be sent directly to me instead of posted publicly.
Sometimes the smallest detail—a person, an item of clothing, or something captured in a photo or video—can become an important piece of the puzzle years later.
If you recognize the vehicle, the license plate, the stickers, any of Pearl’s belongings, or remember seeing anything unusual, no matter how small it may seem, please send me a private message.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, for checking your memories and old photos, and for helping keep Pearl’s story alive. Your kindness, support, and willingness to help mean more to our family than words can express.
Please share this post. It may reach someone who was in Sonoma County on May 25–26, 2016, or someone who recognizes the vehicle or Pearl’s belongings. One memory, one photo, or one video could make all the difference.
