Help Find Kara Kopetsky, Samuel Hoyt And Other Missing People

The word "dreamer" is tattooed on 28-year-old Martha Anaya, a missing mother of two from Santa Ana, Calif., but family members say she is a responsible parent, grounded in reality. That fact, along with the lack of any telltale signs of a desire to escape life, left Anaya's loved ones and police puzzled by her Nov. 12 disappearance. According to the Orange County Register, she was last seen by her mother when she dropped Anaya off at her apartment complex after running errands. What happened to Anaya after that remains a mystery. Her family members have not heard from her since, and she has not reached out to her two daughters, ages 5 and 12. Anaya is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall and 130 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. Anaya has several tattoos including, "Amy" on her left wrist, "Melody" on her right wrist, and "R.I.P. It was all a Dreamer" and "Butterfly" on the left side of her chest. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Santa Ana Police Department at (714) 245-8400.

Holly Grim's mother is convinced there was foul play involved in her daughter's sudden and unexplained disappearance. The 41-year-old mother vanished on the morning of Nov. 22, after she drove her son to a school bus stop in Macungie Township, Pa. Her mother, Jeanette Grim, noticed something was amiss later that day when she stopped by her daughter's mobile home. She was surprised to find her daughter's car parked in the driveway, since she should have been at work. She also was troubled by things she observed inside the home, including Holly's glasses, cigarettes, keys -– items she would normally have with her -- and an overturned cup of coffee. "It's almost like they picked her up from there and just took her," Grim told The Morning Call. The distraught mother said it would be out of character for her daughter, whom she described as a dedicated and doting mother, to take off without letting someone know of her plans. "She lived for her son. She wouldn't leave him behind. She loved life," Grim said, according to The Morning Call. Authorities have been tight-lipped about Grim's disappearance. She is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall and about 100 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information is asked to contact Pennsylvania State Police at (610) 395-1438.
