Family Still Searching for Missing Daughter, Wife and Mother


By Mary O’KEEFE

The family of missing woman Megan (Ganajian) Dipiazza, 33, continues to search anywhere they think this mother, wife and daughter may be.

Megan went missing on Nov. 11 after an argument with her husband Sal. The couple was having marital issues and had recently separated. Glendale police reported finding a note in her apartment that seemed to say goodbye to her family.

A search has been underway but stepfather Bob Alexander and mother Sue are concerned for Megan’s safety. Each day that goes by is torture for her family.

“Her ATM card has not been used, she only had [a small amount] of money with her,” Alexander said. “She is a mother. She wouldn’t be gone this long.”

Megan and Sal were separated and she had recently rented an apartment in north Glendale. Until then they had lived together with Sal’s teenage daughter from a previous relationship and the couple’s 5-year-old son.

Glendale police are now working with other agencies including the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in searching for Megan but they have not had many leads.

“This is just not like her,” Alexander said.

Megan grew up in the area. She is a Crescenta Valley High School graduate. She has a job that her family said she loved in La Cañada Flintridge.

Glendale police reported she had suffered from depression.

Anyone who has any information is asked to contact Sgt. Jeff Newton at (818) 548-3987 or (818) 548-4840. Megan’s vehicle is a 2013 gray Toyota Scion, the plate number is 6XJR885, but it may not have any plates on it. She is described as 33 years old with blonde hair and green eyes, is 5’6” tall and weighs about 122 pounds.
