On December 21st, 2000, a young woman was last seen walking in her Pasadena, California neighborhood before disappearing without a trace. Where is Atinui Moses Kevorkian?
Atinui Moses Kevorkian was a resident of the city of Pasadena, California, near Los Angeles. Born on June 26th, 1981, she was nineteen years old in the year 2000 and was a recent high school graduate, presumably Class of 2000- one of the few available images of her is her graduation picture. Atinui was nicknamed "Angel." She was of Armenian heritage, and had brown eyes and long black hair. She stood five feet, three inches tall and was 115 pounds.
On December 21st, 2000, Atinui was seen taking a walk heading southbound on Sierra Madre Villa Avenue, near Villa Street, in Pasadena. I could find no information saying what time of day or night she was seen walking, or who reported seeing her/reported her missing. In any case, this was the last time she was ever seen. There were no reported sightings of her after this date, and there seem to have never been any leads or evidence as to what could have happened to her. No suspects or persons of interest were ever named, but she is classified as Endangered Missing, so it is possible her case is considered an abduction.
When she was last seen, Atinui was wearing light blue jeans, a pink shirt, and white sneakers. Additionally, Atinui's dental records are on file. There are seemingly few details in the case that can help solve Atinui's disappearance.
There is not much information about Atinui available at all, let alone her disappearance. Upon searching her name, I found that some whitepages-style database sites list her as a current resident of what was presumably her home at the time of her disappearance, but there are no news articles about her being found alive, so this is certainly a mistake of the websites, which speaks to how little-known her disappearance and case is. (I am not linking them because they list personal information about her family members.) There are in fact no news articles that I could find regarding her case at all, which seems unusual, but of course this does not mean they do not exist, possibly they were not archived online or I could not find them for some other reason. In any case no articles are linked on the Charley Project, Namus, Doe Network, the way many other cases tend to have article links. It seems that Atinui's case did not receive much, if any, media coverage.
Despite the seeming lack of news coverage, Atinui's case has been remembered by the GINA for Missing Persons Foundation. The GINA Foundation holds a songwriting contest, and over the years, two different songs in the contest, both by Los Angeles area artists, have been dedicated to Atinui.
It has been nearly twenty five years since Atinui was last seen. If she is alive today, she would be forty-three years old. Where is Atinui "Angel" Moses Kevorkian?
