Culver City Police Seek Help in Missing 24-Year-Old Woman

Satara Stratton, reported missing in October, may be frequenting an area in Hollywood with a 46-year-old man, according to police reports.

Culver City Police and Los Angeles Police are calling on the public to help find 24-year-old Satara Stratton, who moved to Los Angeles from Tennessee in June 2011, and was reported missing to Culver City Police by her mother on October 25, 2011.

Los Angeles and Culver City police investigators learned that Stratton – who has an undisclosed medical condition - may be frequenting the area around the 6500 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, between Highland Avenue and Cahuenga Boulevard, and is believed to be in the company of 46-year-old Paul Constantinescu, according to Detective Carmine Sasso of the LAPD's Missing Persons Unit.

Sasso said that Constantinescu is not accused of any wrongdoing, but authorities decided to release his photo because Stratton has "been seen with him, and if he pops up, maybe he can say, 'Oh, she's over there.' We're doing all we can to generate feedback,'' he said. "The mother is very concerned because [Stratton] is looking worse and worse in the photos we have.''
