As the seventh anniversary of Vallejo teenager Pearl Pinson's abduction approaches, her family grapples with the possibility that she may never return home. Despite this, they remain steadfast in their quest to locate their missing loved one. Pearl's sister, Roos Rodriguez, maintains communication with the detective who first handled the case.
The 15-year-old was allegedly kidnapped by a man on an overpass above Interstate 780 in Vallejo. The harrowing event involved gunshots, though investigators remain uncertain about her whereabouts and the extent of her injuries. 'My sister was shot. Who knows how long she was alive in that vehicle and that trunk,' Roos Rodriguez expressed.
The Solano County Sheriff's Office stated that the case remains open, although no significant leads have emerged recently. The office is committed to providing closure for Pearl's family. Despite the lack of progress, the family holds onto hope that they will find Pearl but also acknowledges the evidence and intuition indicating they may never see her again.
In the months following Pearl's disappearance, numerous searches were conducted. The man suspected of abducting her was located in Southern California but was killed in a shootout with officers. Pearl's family encourages parents to use precautionary measures, such as tracking their children's location through smartphones, to prevent similar tragedies from occurring.
The community is invited to join Pearl's family in honoring her memory with candles and prayers at a gathering scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday. The event will be held at 1000 Lewis Avenue in Vallejo—Pearl's last known location. The family aims to keep her memory alive and raise awareness about the potential dangers teenagers may face in their everyday lives.
