Marisol is described as having dark hair and brown eyes, according to the FBI’s missing person poster, is 5 foot 2 and weighs approximately 130 pounds. She could be wearing glasses and should be wearing a helmet due to her epilepsy, and was last seen in parts of Idaho. FBI SEATTLE FIELD OFFICE FBI SEATTLE FIELD OFFICE

The FBI’s Seattle Field Office is looking for a 31-year-old vulnerable woman who went missing from Western Washington and is believed to be in Idaho, where she was last seen. Marisol Cortes — who has multiple medical conditions, including autism and epilepsy — was taken from Battle Ground, Washington, by her mother to an unknown location in November, according to the FBI. Prior to her disappearance, Marisol’s brother, Adrian Cortes was working to obtain full custody of his sister, which he said prompted his mother — Martha Cortes — to take Marisol. He was granted custody in January after he petitioned the Clark County Superior Court, according to court records.

Marisol is described as having dark hair and brown eyes, according to the FBI’s missing person poster, is 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighs approximately 130 pounds and is non-verbal. She could be wearing glasses and should be wearing a helmet due to her epilepsy. Steve Bernd, a Seattle-based FBI spokesperson, told the Idaho Statesman by phone Marisol was seen between Boise and Twin Falls and may have been in the Lewiston area, as well.

“Our gut is telling us that she’s there,” in Idaho, Bernd said.

FBI seeks public’s help in finding vulnerable Washington woman


SBBM

Marisol’s mother, Martha Cortes, previously had guardianship of her. But over the past 18 to 24 months, before her disappearance, Martha’s ability to care for Marisol declined, Adrian told the Statesman. Adrian said Marisol missed medication, fell down — which caused her to break her teeth and get a concussion — and wasn’t getting the right foods.


“We really wanted to start a discussion with (Martha) on, what (does) the future look like for Marisol and how can we transition and prepare for that?” Adrian said. The Clark County Superior Court also issued a Vulnerable Adult Protection Order against Martha, which means that she could face criminal charges if she is found with Marisol. Bernd clarified the FBI’s main goal isn’t to arrest Martha.

Missing Battle Ground woman found safe in Idaho

A disabled Battle Ground woman who had been missing and considered endangered since November 2021 was found safe in Stites, Idaho, the FBI Seattle Field Office announced Thursday.

31-year old Marisol Cortes was taken from Battle Ground by a family member on Nov. 4, 2021.

She was considered endangered because police believed she was being deprived of required daily medication.

Law enforcement was able to identify Cortes after acting on a tip received as a result of media coverage and a Seeking Information poster which was originally issued by FBI Seattle on March 15, 2022.
