Authorities asked the public for help Thursday in their search for 3-year-old Luluwa Estrada and her mother Christina Trujillo.
The pair were last seen on March 25 at 11 a.m. on the 7100 block of Rosecrans Avenue in the city of Paramount, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release.
