Her family reported her missing several days after she left home.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Since the initial investigation and discovery of the suspicious circumstances surrounding the found vehicle, the case was assigned to Homicide Bureau detectives,” Peck said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Investigators recently received a tip that Monique’s remains may be buried off the 11000 block of Pearblossom Highway in Palmdale,” Peck said. “Detectives, cadaver scent dogs and (coroner’s) personnel investigated the tip and checked the area, but the search met with negative results.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Monique is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair, and hazel eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A $10,000 reward was offered by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of any suspect or suspects involved in Monique\u2019s disappearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the case is urged to call detectives Karen Shonka or Wayne Holston at 323-890-5500, or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.<\/span><\/p>\n
