PORT ANGELES — Authorities say there are no new leads in the case of a developmentally disabled woman missing from Port Angeles since Oct. 10.
Jennifer Pimentel, 26, disappeared from The Gateway transit center while waiting for a bus to her home in SeaTac.
Pimentel reportedly is mentally about 12 years old, and her family is concerned for her welfare.
“We’re still working on what leads we do have,” said Brian Smith, Port Angeles deputy police chief, on Monday. “We would like to talk to anyone who knew Jennifer who hasn’t yet talked with us.”
Police hope one of her old friends might shed some light on who the missing woman may have known, he said.
Anyone who has seen Pimentel or has information on her whereabouts or her social circles should immediately phone the Port Angeles Police Department at 360-452-4545.
Pimentel 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.
She is a former Port Angeles resident who moved to SeaTac about a year ago.
Over the weekend, police said Pimentel had been seen in Port Angeles last Tuesday, Oct. 11, with an unidentified man.
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.
The man was 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.
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.
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.
