Monica De Leon Age
Her current age is 29 years.
Kidnapped While Walking Dog
A Facebook page titled “Help Us Find Monica De Leon” was launched earlier this month in a bid to track down the 29-year-old.
According to the social media profile, De León was on her way to a Fit4Life gym in Fraccion Guadalupe when she was allegedly “forced into a van” between 5 and 6 p.m. Local time on 29.11.
Another post added that De Leon was “last seen” walking her dog. She is a Hispanic woman, between 5’5″ and 5’6″, with short black hair and blonde highlights, and was wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a white cap when she disappeared.
Her loved ones are urging others to contact the US Department of Missing Citizens Abroad and call California Senator Alex Padilla and Congresswoman Jackie Speier.
Speier told SFGate, “I am actively involved in the case and in daily contact with the family and various federal agencies. We must do everything we can to find Monica.”
A State Department spokesman told Fox News Digital, “The US State Department and our embassies and consulates abroad have no greater responsibility than protecting American citizens abroad. . The well-being and safety of US citizens abroad is a top priority for the State Department.”
The State Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. De León’s brother, Gustavo De León, also shared a message on the page, thanking those who have looked for their effort and support.
“You were as subtle as a hammer but I think that’s what we need to get more people involved in America,” he wrote in part.
“My family cannot thank you enough. I’m asking you to continue what you’ve been doing until we get Monica home.”
