Details :
Michaela was abducted by an unidentified male in the parking lot of Rainbow Market, two blocks from her home. A friend she was with had her scooter moved, and when Michaela tried to get it back, the abductor threw Michaela into his car and sped off. Michaela's friend ran inside the Rainbow Market for assistance, but the abductor was able to escape with Michaela before she could get help.

The abductor was described as between 18 -24 years old with an acne scarred face. He was wearing a white t-shirt and had longish, dirty, blonde hair, and a slender build. He was driving a large, older model, American-made sedan. It was possibly a four-door vehicle and was cream, gold, or tan in color.
The car appeared to be run-down, the front bumper was battered and looked to have been involved in an accident. The tail lights were set into the rear bumper. There appeared to be cement splatters along the sides of the vehicle. It was last seen speeding south on Mission Boulevard towards Union City, California, with Michaela inside.
