Authorities provide new details on case, ask public help to find missing woman and white SUV RAV-4 vehicle

 

 

December 30, 2010 (San Diego’s East County) –Diana Ellen Bialawski, 26, left home in Carmel Creek on Christmas Day. “She left a note saying she was going to Julian to visit friends, and I’ll call you if I need help,’” Detective Mo Parga with SDPD said, adding that Bialawski had been suffering from depression when she took off in a white Toyota Rav-4 SUV that only had a quarter tank of gas.

 

“We had SDPD fixed-wing and helicopter up all day today searching,” Parga said. Stormy weather prevented aerial searches until today.

Authorities fear the woman may have suffered an accident, since there has been no sign of Bialawski or the vehicle. Checks on her bank card and cell phone found neither had been used since she disappeared. The vehicle, a 2010 white Rav-4, has a California license 4TJK342 and a spare tire on the back with no cover.

 

“She lived in Julian at one point, so she would know Julian,” Parga disclosed. “She still has a P.O. Box, but nobody knows exactly where she lived at.” The missing woman also has ties to Warner Springs, the detective added. “Her mother searched all over Warner Springs yesterday.”
 

Bialawski was wearing black pants and a belted sweater in tan, brown and white, but had no jacket or other warm clothing with her when she left the 4100 block of Paseo Montanas in Carmel Creek at 1 p.m. on December 25th. She had no food, but may have had some cash. She is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 120 pounds, and has brown hair and blue eyes.
 

Parga said that the family is a “good, solid family.” Bialawski was not involved with drugs and other than depression, had no other known troubles, Parga added.
 

Although the missing woman’s note suggested she went to Julian, she also likes the beach and may have gone somewhere other than the mountains. “She just fell off the face of the earth,” said Parga, who urges anyone with information to please call the San Diego Police Dept. at (619)531-2000 or Detective Mo Parga at (619)531-2277.
