Missing person

Police asked the public to help find a 20-year-old woman who has been missing for four days and was last seen in Rancho Cordova.

Emma Roark was last seen Thursday near Coloma Road and McGregor Drive, the Rancho Cordova Police Department announced in social media posts.

Police said Roark is 5-feet-4, has blue hair and a medium build. She was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, a black skirt and black Converse high-top shoes. Roark has a tattoo of a blue triangle on top of a black triangle on her left bicep, police said.

Her parents, Celeste and Gabriel Roark, created a Gofundme account to raise money to hire a private investigator. The parents, who live in Rancho Cordova, said their daughter was last seen walking to the American River off of Coloma Road. She had her phone, but she did not have her wallet, identification or any extra clothes.

“She is at risk with high functioning autism and her family has been doing everything they can to find her,” her parents said on the Gofundme page. “We are devoting every hour to finding our Emma.”

Investigators asked anyone with information about Roark’s whereabouts to call the Police Department at 916-362-5115.
