Missing mum's family fear foul play as rental car found abandoned
Missing mum's family fear foul play as car found abandoned

Alison Riley, whose legal name is Tatiana McIntyre, has not been seen since going to her ex-boyfriend's house on Tuesday to see their two kids in Fresno, California. Her family fears foul play, noting there has been no sign from her former partner since. She never arrived at her daughter's school to pick her up, which first raised alarm bells, and then her rental car was found abandoned with her belongings still inside on August 5.

Rental car found abandoned

The Zipcar rental was discovered by loved ones at an orchard near McKinley and Academy in Fresno, who had tracked a GPS signal. The authorities then confiscated the vehicle before securing a search warrant for her last known location - her ex's home. Riley's family confirmed that her phone last pinged at 1pm on August 4 at the property on Grove Avenue before losing service, and there has been a large police presence at the home since Wednesday.

Family's account

Whilst family members waited outside, her mother Liberty Lopez claimed homicide detectives attended the scene. Ms Lopez told FOX26 that she had been at the property since 5am awaiting answers. According to reports, her daughter had previously told her about alleged domestic violence involving the children's father, including claims of him choking her and stopping her from leaving the property. Ms Lopez alleges these allegations had been previously reported to the law.

Plea for help

The ex-boyfriend has reportedly not answered calls from the missing woman's loved ones, and Ms Riley's family believe that he has not returned home since her disappearance. Lopez shared a plea online for her daughter, stating: “My daughter is missing in Fresno California. Her phone was last at her ex’s house, her rental car was abandoned on McKinley and Academy in an Orchard in the middle of nowhere. She didn’t show up to pick up my granddaughter from school. I last spoke to her at 12:06pm her last location on her phone was at 1:30pm then the phone was shut off. No one has heard anything in over 12 hours. Please share, let's find my baby girl.”
