PPD Asks For Help Locating Missing Woman

PETALUMA, CA — The Petaluma Police Department is asking for help locating Mary Malinsak, a Petaluma woman who has gone months without contacting her family, leaving authorities searching for answers about her safety.

Police say Malinsak has been living a transient lifestyle and may not have access to a phone or reliable way to communicate.

While investigators report no signs of foul play and believe she may be missing voluntarily, concern continues to grow as time passes without contact.

Family members and officers want to confirm that she is safe and are urging anyone who has seen Malinsak or knows where she might be to come forward.

Anyone with information should call Detective Thompson at 707-781-1249 or contact the Petaluma Police Department at 707-778-4372.
