PORT ANGELES — Jennifer Pimentel, a developmentally disabled woman who has been missing for nearly a week, was seen in Port Angeles last Tuesday with an unidentified man, police have learned.
Sgt. Glen Roggenbuck of the Port Angeles Police Department said two people who know the 26-year-old woman spotted her with the man at the Peninsula Housing Authority’s Mount Angeles View neighborhood and in the 700 block of Lopez Street.
They didn’t know she was missing at the time, he said.
Description of man
The man is described as being between 6 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing about 300 pounds, with short hair, possibly blond.
There have been no other confirmed sightings of Pimentel since.
Jennifer Pimentel, who is mentally about 12 years old, is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 126 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes and was wearing a red and white jacket.
The Port Angeles woman has been missing since Monday, when she was dropped off by friends at The Gateway transit center and purchased a Dungeness Bus Lines ticket to SeaTac.
She never got on the bus, according to the Port Angeles Police Department.
The sightings occurred after her identification card was found alongside U.S. Highway 101 east of Discovery Bay at about noon Tuesday.
Her Safeway card and EBT card were also found nearby Friday, Roggenbuck said, after the man who turned her ID card in to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office showed officers where he found it.
Her father, Henry Pimentel, said the man’s description doesn’t sound like anyone he knows and added that he is still “very concerned” for her safety.
“There’s just too many question marks going on,” he said.
Roggenbuck said there also have been unconfirmed reports of Jennifer Pimentel being seen on a Clallam Transit bus Monday and at a Macy’s store in Olympia.
Anyone who has seen her or has information on her whereabouts should immediately phone the Port Angeles Police Department at 360-452-4545.
