Bree'Anna Guzman-Ruiz Is Missing: Young Lincoln Heights Mom Went Out for Cough Syrup, Never Came Home

Update: "Bree'Anna Guzman's Dead Body Reportedly Found by Side of Freeway in Silver Lake -- on One-Month Anniversary of Her Disappearance."

LAPD detectives are trying to track down a 22-year-old mother of two who went missing Monday night in Lincoln Heights.

Bree'Anna Guzman-Ruiz, as she spells her name on Facebook, told her family on the evening after Christmas that she was going out to buy cough syrup at a drug store near their home. Since then, according to City News Service, the young mother "never came home and has not reported to work."

Guzman-Ruiz' last public Facebook activity was three days before her disappearance...

... when she was posting photos of Juicy Couture purses that she wanted for Christmas.

"We're concerned for her well-being, because this is out of character for her," Detective Marla Ciuffetelli at the LAPD's Missing Persons Unit tells LA Weekly.

A reporter from KNX news radio writes that the missing woman's home is located on Humboldt Street, near the 5 freeway. And another Twitter user says Guzman-Ruiz was "last seen around 8pm at the RiteAid" near her house.

Here's a physical description of the 22-year-old, via City News: "She's 5 feet 3, has black hair and brown eyes, weighs about 110 pounds and has a tattoo on the back of her neck and a pierced lower lip."

Yet another Twitter user adds that she has braces and "freckles on cheeks."

Anyone with any information concerning Guzman-Ruiz' whereabouts should call detectives at (213) 996-1800.

These sick people just tried to take another little girl yesterday in Lincoln Heights, luckily she got away. Its was 3 men in a white van, no license plate, they were said to be armed. Watch Your Kids! And sadly they ended up taking a little boy today, this afternoon the time is uncertain. But it was said to be the same van and the same men.

I grew up in the neighborhood and went to the elementary school across the street where her body was found. It has really upsets me that the media does not give the attention that this story deserves. As soon as I heard of this I recalled the other missing girl that was found off the 5fwy last year, she was also young and latina, and the media did the same shit in that case. I hope the police are looking into a connection between these two cases there might be a serial killer on the loose. I send prayers to her family and friends, and hope that no one else falls victim to this killer, and that he is caught and brought to justice.

coydog how do you know it was her? It hasn't been confirmed in the media. Is this just your guess or hard facts. There is a lot of family and friends waiting for her return.

I never heard of this missing woman until today when they confirmed she was found.  I never saw it on any news.  So sad.  Scary because someone said their cousin was also kidnapped and killed in 2011.  Perhaps we have a serial killer on our hands so why aren't we hearing more of missing cases with women in LA area?

April 2011 My cousin Michelle Lozano went missing from Lincoln Heights, at her viewing and funeral no news vans, no reporters, even before her funeral it was lost in the media. She was found naked, thrown off the 5/10 fwy found by a homeless person.  They just found a woman similar way off the 5/2 fwy, police are looking into 2 possible missing cases, CBS mentioned only 1 case Bree' Anas.  Let's pray it's not her, for her kids and family....  As well it wouldn't be the first time we have a serial killer... Night Stalker...

Rubi, has your family been contacted, could this be a serial killer? why is this info not being reported, was any suspect ever found in your cousins case.

This is so sad to know! And even more upsetting that things like this don't pop up in the news, and all because in the neighborhood it takes place in. I live in the same neighborhood and as a woman myself I would like to stay inform about what goes on and happens around my area specially because I too as many others walk those same streets. But let's hope and pray the body is not Bree's for her family and kids sake.

No person should have to live thru this as the victim, family of the victim or children of the victim! BreeAnna needs more attention! Why has this been on the news but only once?!

We need to make a lot of noise and have the media support us on finding Bree.

why has this story about a local girl not been more publicized? there are monsters among us that threaten to take our babies, sisters, moms…. we have to do more as a community if the media can’t make things happen. where is this investigation at. I doubt the family even knows. if this was a white girl from beverly hills they would be all over this story. racial profiling…it’s never ending.
