Estrella Luz Sosadelossantos Missing Person Case: The 2012 Disappearance in Anchorage, Alaska

Nineteen-year-old Estrella Luz Sosadelossantos disappeared from Anchorage, Alaska, on February 8, 2012. More than fourteen years later, her whereabouts remain unknown, and her case continues to appear in current state and national missing-person records. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System lists Estrella under NamUs #MP66529, while Alaska’s statewide missing-person data identifies the investigating agency as the Anchorage Police Department and records APD case #120006606.

Brief Case Summary

Last seen: February 8, 2012
Location: Anchorage, Alaska
Age when missing: 19
Status: Missing person
Main circumstances: Public records state only that Estrella went missing from Anchorage on February 8, 2012. They do not publicly identify a more precise last-seen address, what she was wearing, who last saw her, whether a vehicle was involved, or what events immediately preceded her disappearance. There is no confirmed public record establishing that Estrella was the victim of a homicide.

The Disappearance of Estrella Luz Sosadelossantos

Estrella was 19 when she was last known to be in Anchorage on February 8, 2012. She is described in missing-person databases as a Black/African American woman who stood approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighed about 120 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes.

Unlike many long-term missing-person cases, relatively little information about Estrella’s final known movements has been released publicly. Available records do not provide a specific Anchorage neighborhood or street where she was last seen. They also do not identify the person who last had contact with her or describe the circumstances that caused concern and led to her being reported missing.

That absence of detail is one of the defining characteristics of the case. There is currently no widely published account of Estrella leaving a residence, workplace, vehicle, business, or social gathering. Public case summaries simply report that she disappeared from Anchorage on February 8, 2012.

Estrella’s Physical Description

Estrella was listed as 19 years old at the time she disappeared. Public missing-person records describe her as approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Her race is recorded as Black/African American.

No reliable public record located for this review provides a detailed clothing description from February 8, 2012 or publicly documented information about distinctive jewelry, belongings, a vehicle, or other items that might have been with her when she disappeared.

The Investigation

The Anchorage Police Department is identified as the primary investigating law-enforcement agency. Alaska’s statewide missing-person dataset continues to list Estrella along with APD case number 120006606, confirming that her disappearance remains represented in the state’s missing-person records.

Estrella also remains listed in NamUs as MP66529, with February 8, 2012 recorded as her date of last contact and Anchorage as the location associated with her disappearance.

The Anchorage Police Department currently has a Homicide/Missing Persons/Cold Case function within its Detective Division. APD’s current department directory identifies the unit and provides a direct telephone number for its supervising sergeant, in addition to APD’s main and non-emergency numbers.

Latest Publicly Available Case Information

As of August 13, 2026, Estrella remains present in Alaska’s current missing-person data, with Anchorage Police Department case number 120006606 still attached to her record. NamUs also continues to display her as a missing person under MP66529.

Crime Solvers Central’s case page, which aggregates missing-person information, shows an update date of August 4, 2026 and continues to classify Estrella as missing. Its record likewise identifies Anchorage Police Department as the primary agency and lists the same APD case number.

No publicly released recent investigative breakthrough was located during this review. There is no reliable public announcement identifying a suspect or person of interest, no announced arrest, no reported recovery of Estrella’s remains, and no publicly documented resolution of her disappearance. The continuing appearance of her name in official missing-person data indicates that the case has not been publicly closed as a located-person case.

The limited amount of publicly released information also means that theories about what happened to Estrella should not be presented as established fact. Online discussion can help renew awareness, but speculation about particular individuals or circumstances remains unverified unless confirmed by investigators.

More Than Fourteen Years Without Answers

Estrella disappeared at only 19 years old. By August 2026, more than fourteen years had passed since her last known contact in Anchorage. Her case illustrates one of the challenges surrounding long-term missing-person investigations: a case may remain officially recorded for years while very little of the investigative file is available to the public.

For Estrella, the fundamental questions remain unanswered. Where exactly was she when she was last seen? Who last spoke with her? What happened in the hours surrounding February 8, 2012? And does someone still have information that could explain why she vanished?

Anyone with credible information concerning Estrella Luz Sosadelossantos or her disappearance should provide that information directly to the Anchorage Police Department and reference APD case #120006606 or NamUs #MP66529.
