Inmate Pete Vega was discovered missing at 8:30 a.m. during a routine count prior reporting for work. He was last seen in the dining hall at 7:15 a.m.
CDCR’s Office of Correctional Safety, CAL FIRE, law enforcement personnel, as well as local law enforcement agencies and the California Highway Patrol had all been notified of his disappearance. They are assisting each other in locating Vega.
