Still missing
Edit
Her namus entry contains some intriguing additional info

Laura Cerda left her home on 01/01/10 to go visit friends in San Jose. She has a husband and three children. She was supposed to take a Greyhound bus but there is no record of her ever having purchased a ticket or getting on the bus. Laura Cerda may have left her family to be with a boyfriend who has also not been seen or heard from since 01/01/10.

Does that mean we are potentially looking for 2 missing people ?

That's a very interesting detail—especially since it's not included on other sites. An ABC article from 2010 says she went "to visit friends." The Charley Project omits that part entirely.

So where is this detail coming from? Could it be a ruse to deflect attention elsewhere? If so, who would benefit from that?

According to the ABC article, Laura's "family" waited several days before contacting police. Maybe this was because in 2010, January 1 was a Friday, and the "family" was waiting to see if she'd show up for work on Monday, January 4th? But if by "family," they really mean the husband, then could there be another reason for the delay?
