The FBI’s Seattle office is continuing to ask for the public’s help finding missing Vancouver woman Cristina Ase.

Investigators describe Ase, 62, as a Hispanic woman with brown and gray hair, brown eyes and standing 5 feet, 8 inches tall. She speaks English and Spanish. The FBI said she has ties to Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco and Sacramento, Calif.

Ase’s family and co-workers reported her missing after she didn’t show up for work March 26 in West Linn, Ore.

Her mobile phone records show Ase left her home in Vancouver at 6:34 a.m. March 26, and drove south on Interstate 205 into Southeast Portland. Police say data showed Ase’s phone moving between houses in the neighborhood north of Glenwood Park before her phone shut off about 10 a.m. at the intersection of Southeast Flavel Street and 92nd Avenue, according to a search warrant affidavit filed April 9 in Clark County Superior Court.

Ase’s vehicle — a 2013 Toyota RAV4 — was found the following day near her residence. The affidavit said the vehicle’s rear-view mirror was askew, and “there appeared to be a powdery white residue — like a cleaning agent — coating several surfaces on the interior.”

“Law enforcement believes her disappearance is suspicious and far from her normal routine,” the FBI bulletin states.

Anyone with information about Ase’s whereabouts is asked to contact an FBI office or U.S. Embassy or submit an online tip at tips.fbi.gov.
