A daughter pleaded for the public’s help to provide information that could help her mother get home or help find the 40-year-old Lynwood resident who has been missing for six months.
Adriana Rodriguez was last seen on April 8 on the 10200 block of Western Avenue in Downey.
Her daughter, Valarie Rodriguez, spoke tearfully at a news conference Thursday afternoon, along with other family members and representatives of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, asking for help for her and her brother to find their mother.
“It’s been a really tough few months without her and I wish I could spend more time with her. I’m trying to stay strong, and at least pray that we find her,” Valarie said.

Sergeant Michael Rodriguez, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau, Missing Persons Unit, said detectives have been working on the case since April, when Adriana went missing.
“We try to keep all our research options open, we don’t rule anything out. We welcome all the information and want to locate Adriana so we can bring her family closer to safety,” Rodriguez said.
“Our hope is that she is only a voluntary missing person, and that it is something she chooses. If anyone has any information at all, we welcome that information.”
Adriana is 6 feet tall, weighs 130 pounds, has brown eyes and black shoulder-length hair.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Missing Persons Unit at (323) 890-5500.
