"While these women were not directly associated with one another, their similar backgrounds are cause for concern and may indicate the disappearances are related," reads an alert from the department.
All three women have been entered into state and nationwide missing persons databases, and police stress there is no definitive evidence they were abducted or victims of foul play. Anyone with information that can help locate the women is asked to contact the Santa Ana Police Department at 714.245.8393 and ask for Investigative Specialist Debbie Velarde-Reyes.
Anonymous tips may be left with OC Crimestoppers at 855.847.6227.

Franc Cano, 27, an Anaheim transient who pleaded guilty in 2007 to a lewd act with a minor, and Steven Dean Gordon, 45, also a convicted sex offender, were arrested Friday evening.
They are expected to be arraigned early next week, each on four counts of murder.
The men were booked on suspicion of killing four women, including 21-year-old Jarrae Nykkole Estepp, a Modesto resident whose unclothed body was found March 14 on a conveyor belt at a recycling plant in Anaheim.
