On Tuesday (March 26), Cristina Ase, a 61-year-old woman, was reported missing to the Vancouver Police Department by her husband. Co-workers of Ase also called police when she did not show up to work earlier that morning. Ase was last heard from at about 5:30 a.m. on the morning of March 26.
Police believe Ase may have gone into Oregon after leaving her residence at 501 SE 123rd Ave., Vancouver. It is believed she drove a 2013 dark grey Toyota Rav4 with a Washington plate of AQT1726. Her vehicle was located in Vancouver on March 27. Ase is possibly carrying a black & white bag or purse. Her clothing is unknown.
