Vancouver Police Missing Persons detectives have been actively investigating the disappearance of 61-year-old Cristina Ase, who was last seen on March 26.
Ase lives in Vancouver and works in West Linn. Police still believe her disappearance is suspicious and far outside of what her normal pattern consists of. A person of interest has not been identified.
Cristina’s husband, family and friends have continued to cooperate with law enforcement. Coordinated efforts between Vancouver Police Department, Portland Police Bureau, and West Linn Police Department have been made to advance the investigation and locate Ase.
Police and Cristina’s loved ones urge anyone who knows Cristina or has had contact with her within the weeks leading up to her disappearance, to contact Detective Nicholson at Jason.nicholson@cityofvancouver.us or Sergeant Ballou at Julie.ballou@cityofvancouver.us.
On March 26, Ase was reported missing to the Vancouver Police Department by her husband. Co-workers of Cristina also called police when she did not show up to work earlier that morning. Cristina was last heard from at about 5:30 a.m. on the morning of March 26.

Her vehicle was located in Vancouver on March 27. Cristina is possibly carrying a black & white bag or purse. Her clothing is unknown.
