Missing person: Elena Park, 24
Description
I lost my sister Elena Park yesterday around 3pm. She's 5'4", about 125 pounds, with shoulder-length black hair and hazel eyes. Last seen near the Madonna Inn parking lot on Madonna Road in San Luis Obispo, wearing a red hoodie, gray joggers, and white sneakers; she has a crescent moon tattoo on her inner left wrist and wears a thin silver bracelet with a tiny heart charm. I've been really worried; she can get disoriented and has been anxious lately. If anyone saw her wandering toward Cal Poly or downtown San Luis Obispo, please contact me so we can bring her home safely. Any information helps; she's not answering her phone, and we just want to bring her home.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
