She was last seen leaving a hospital. Would be interesting to know what for. The story would correlate with what the killer said if she had just had a baby and was from AZ, and knowing she was about to lose custody or something, took off to california where she met him?

As its been over 20 years I find it unlikely that she simply took off to California and started a new life. In this day and age it seems almost impossible that she could continue to live under an alias. My guess is that she was abducted but by whom? Did she have a boyfriend? an ex? the father of this alleged baby? Was she into drugs? So many unanswered questions.

Her father worked as a doctor at St Mary’s Hospital according to a web search.

I wonder if she went there to see him and if so why? Was he one of the the last people to see her?

Thoughts and prayers still go out to her daily. Gone but never forgotten.

Bumping! Would like more information on this disappearance and possible clues.

I don't know what it means, but she was listed as living in Idaho in 2001?

Hey can you link where you read this? I think this is the obituary for him here. It doesn't mention her though which is weird.

Having said that, she is listed as surviving her father in this obituary in Tucson. Sounds like there is more to the story that we aren't privy to.

I have the impression that she either started a life somewhere else, maybe in another country with her father's help, maybe she was kidnapped by some mentally ill or serial killer, or she was probably pregnant and wanted to have an abortion with her father's help because he boyfriend left her when he found out that she was in that state... whatever it was, she was a beautiful woman who if she is alive I hope she is well and if she is not... that she is resting in peace
