ORIGINAL POST, MARCH 10, 11:56 A.M.: Sarah Gonzalez is missing.
If that sentence and/or the photos above seem familiar, that is because the Santa Ana resident was also reported missing in November.
She was found several days later in Pomona and was returned safe and sound to her loving family.
Gonzalez walked away from her family’s home in the 1000 block of East Russell Street on Wednesday, according to the Santa Ana Police Department, which adds she often uses the Orange County Transportation Authority bus system and took with her $300 and a passport.
“Sarah has told her mother she was ‘tired of life,’ however has never attempted suicide,” reads the police advisory. “Sarah is described as calm and extremely reserved. Gonzalez has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is prescribed several medications.”
She is described as a Latina, 5-foot-8, 205 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
