Maria Giovanna Evangelista was last seen on Tuesday, January 28, 1997 at a hotel in San Francisco, California. Maria lived in Montreal, Canada at the time. The day before her disappearance, Maria called her mother and told her she didn't want to return to the Louis-H. LaFontaine Hospital, a large psychiatric hospital in Montreal and that she wanted to go work in San Francisco, California. It is unknown why she was a patient at the hospital and why she did not want to return.

Maria packed her bags and flew from Toronto to San Francisco that day. She told her mother she would return to Canada the following month. She has never been seen or heard from again.

On February 7, Maria's personal belongings were found in her hotel room where she had been staying. It is unknown where she was planning on working and if she knew anyone in the area. It is also unclear when she was reported missing.

If you have any information on the disappearance or whereabouts of Maria Giovanna Evangelista, please contact the San Francisco Police Department at 415-553-1071 or your local FBI office. **I do all the research myself and the information on the case is from online sources and may or may not be correct.
