LANCASTER – Authorities are seeking the public’s help in locating two Lancaster women who have not been in contact with their family in more than a week.

Riny Martinez, 49, and 18-year-old Nayeli Martinez, were last contacted by relatives on Jan. 5 and Riny was last seen Jan. 6 at work in the 2000 block of Avenue I, according to Deputy Marvin Crowder of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Riny is 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. Nayeli is 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 105 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. Both women are Hispanic, Crowder said. The relationship between the two is unclear.

“Family members are concerned for their well-being and asking for the public’s assistance in locating them,” Crowder said.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of either of the missing women is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Missing Persons Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be called into Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or submitted online at lacrimestoppers.org.

  1. I am praying for them, please pray with me. Homelessness can affect anyone of us if circumstances turn bad and it’s a frightening world out there. I’m praying they are somewhere on an adventure and not being hurt or lost. Please pray to Jesus to bring them home, all of our community, they could be our mother, daughter, sister, niece.

  2. Soooo Does this mean police or Detectives will actually try looking for the missing…Please Continue to have A Section on this AVNews and other News Stands specifically for the missing… Maybe More Picture postings of Missing circulating will help find them..I have seen maybe 5 maybe more persons missing this year alone from out here in the Antelope Valley only..Just A Recommendation..What comes to mind is the young adult male who disappeared from Palmdale and Someone found his remains in the desert area in Lancaster…If more pictures of the missing are circulated people may help with finding them or bring information to help

  3. This looks like a mother and daughter that always came into the Home Depot to use the restroom cause they lived in a silver car in the parking lot with a male and a German shepherd.
