Cristina Ramirez

An Amber Alert was issued Tuesday for a 13 year old girl from Hollister, California. According to the San Benito County Sheriff’s Department, Cristina Martinez was kidnapped around 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

Cristina was described as being Hispanic and she is 4 ft. tall and she weighs about 85 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes. The last time she was seen she was wearing her school uniform with a white polo shirt and a blue skirt.

Cristina’s father, 34 year old Marcelino Ramirez, is suspected to have been the one that kidnapped his daughter. He is described as Hispanic that is about 5 ft 6 inches tall. He weighs about 150 pounds.

Apparently there is some major concern for this child because her father allegedly has a history of violence and sexually assaulted his daughter in the past according to Cristina’s mother.

Marcelino Ramirez

Ramirez was last seen driving a white Honda Odyssey with a California license plate number 3WAN638. The rear window of the car is tinted and it has a Coast Auto Insurance sticker on the back window.

The San Benito Sheriff’s Department is asking that if anyone sees Ramirez’s car or Marcelino or his daughter Cristina to please call them at 831-636-4101.

If what Cristina’s mother said about Marcelino is true this girl needs to be found soon before she is hurt. So if anyone sees them please call the authorities. You could save her life or at least save her from having to go through something a 13 year old girl shouldn’t have happen to her. I hope and pray she is found before it is too late. May God be with her.
