The FBI has released new details in a California woman missing person’s case, along with surveillance videos of the moments leading up to her abduction in Jalisco, Mexico.

Monica de Leon Barba, a U.S. citizen from the Bay Area, has been reported missing since Nov. 29, 2022, according to FBI documents.

Barba was last seen walking home from work with her dog in the city of Tepatitlán, according to the released videos.

The videos pinpoint at least five suspects involved in the kidnapping and who drove away separately in three vehicles—a white Chevy Suburban, a gray Dodge Charger, and a silver Volkswagen Jetta, according to the agency.
