Overview
- A Fresno mother identified as Tatyana “Alison” Riley went missing after visiting her ex‑boyfriend’s home to see their children on Tuesday, and family members reported her phone last pinged at the property around 1 p.m.
- Loved ones tracked Riley’s Zipcar to an orchard near McKinley and Academy where it was found abandoned with personal items inside and later seized by police.
- Investigators obtained and executed a search warrant at a home on East Grove Avenue, and homicide detectives have established a presence as the Fresno Police Department says the missing‑person probe is now a death investigation.
- Family members allege a history of domestic violence by the ex‑boyfriend and say he has been unreachable since Riley disappeared, while some friends and outlets report she was found dead but police have provided limited public confirmation beyond the death‑investigation status.
- Riley’s relatives are seeking answers and have opened a fundraiser for funeral costs, and authorities say their next steps include forensic work to determine cause of death and whether criminal charges will follow.
