Family members said that based on the surveillance footage, when Fuentes drove out of the gas station parking lot she turned in the wrong direction to get to her home.
At approximately 5:24 am, 90 minutes after she was first seen, she made two calls to her sister but the calls went unanswered.
She has not been heard from since.
The desperate family turned to the amateur dive team, Adventures with Purpose, to help comb nearby lakes in their search for her.
The dive team has solved 23 missing persons cases, and most recently discovered the body and silver SUV driven by missing teenager Kiely Rodni, 16.
In their search for Fuentes, the divers searched Avocado and Pine Flat lake, after cops said her phone last pinged in that area. However, the dive teams were unable to find any trace of her.

Fuentes’ aunt, Joann Branda said it was encouraging news that her niece was not found in the area the divers were searching, KSEE/KGPE News reported.
‘It helped relieve us of those thoughts so now we can move on from that,’ Branda said in part.
Fuentes, mother Norma Nunez added: ‘This will give us assurance 100%. That is all we have is faith. What else can we do. We know she is out there and we know she is alive,’ the news outlet reported.
The family has put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to Fuentes whereabouts.
