In 1988, Jobita Rosanna Esquivel was convicted in Utah County of forgery and sentenced to one to 15 years in prison.

On Aug. 13, 1991, Esquivel was paroled. But less than a year later, she absconded parole and fled Utah for California. The FBI says it has information that indicates she has returned to the Salt Lake area on two occasions and may continue to do so.

Esquivel has a history of prior convictions on charges of theft by deception and forgery. She has also been convicted of carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle, mail theft and giving false information to a police officer. She has been in and out of jail since 1982.
