June 11, 2025 – Ventura County Sheriff's Office officials would like to thank everyone who joined us at the Missing in the Ojai Valley public event this past weekend. This was our inaugural public event of this kind, dedicated to raising awareness and providing resources for the ongoing search for missing and unidentified individuals across the United States. Our dedicated investigators spend countless hours working tirelessly on these cases, yet sometimes they reach a point where new information is scarce. We recognize that members of the public may unknowingly hold vital clues that could revitalize an investigation.

Across the nation, these seemingly small pieces of information have been crucial in recovering missing persons or identifying previously unknown deceased individuals, bringing closure to families and friends who have been waiting for answers.

On Saturday, we also conducted an extensive search for Zanaya Valora, who has been missing since June 25, 2024. We remain hopeful and committed to finding her and others like her.
