Another California missing persons case was just resolved, involving one of the writers of a 2013 Katy Perry song.

48-year-old Carmela Leierth-Segura vanished on June 30 in Beverly Hills, and her car was found abandoned.




For over 3 months, nobody heard from her, though her cat was also missing, which indicated it was possible she had simply taken the cat and run off.

Someone called in an anonymous tip that she was seen in Santa Monica, and indeed police located her there. She told police that she voluntarily disappeared and "did not want police services".

Apparently Segura had been struggling financially since COVID hit in 2020. It is not clear if she was homeless in Santa Monica, which does have a huge homeless population.

She was a co-writer of the 2013 Katy Perry song "Walking on Air".

The cat's disappearance along with her was a big clue that she left on her own. Typically murderers or kidnappers do not bother taking a cat when going after someone.
