Update on Yolanda Lopez

It's now Thursday, almost a week since 58-year-old Yolanda Lopez disappeared while on her way to a National City drugstore to buy hair dye. She is the aunt of one of our staff members -- Marketing Coordinator Liz Reinhofer -- and has an extended family that is very worried about her whereabouts, especially since she relies on medication for diabetes and dementia.

Yolanda's family continues to canvass the area and yesterday spent all day and most of the evening in Tijuana, in case Yolanda crossed the border. They had new fliers created that are more visible to draw new attention to the missing woman.

We wanted to thank everyone who has helped in the search by passing along our pleas through social media and for all of the emails and phone calls Liz and other family members have received to lend moral support.

We'll keep you updated as more information is available.
