The circumstances of Patricia's disappearance are really heartbreaking. She was last seen in 1980. Her 18-month-old son was found in a hotel where she had been staying at in Sacramento. Patricia was estranged from her husband, John Bowden, at the time of her disappearance.

That's the first time I ever saw that clay recon. I wonder if the police misplaced it over the years.

This is also the first time I've seen the recon - I wonder what newspaper that clipping was from.

The Sheriff’s Office confirmed the sibling was confirmed through the DNA and the remains were identified as Patricia Ann Rose. Detectives interviewed Rose’s sibling and child who confirmed Rose also used the first names “Torrie” and “Patti” as well as the last names “Bowden” and “Anderson.”

“The circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death are suspicious, and detectives are seeking the public’s help for any possible information regarding Patricia’s death or disappearance,” the Sheriff’s Office said

Looks like Patricia and John got married in 1977:

Divorce was granted 1982 in Sacramento:

I found a Patricia A. Bowden living in Tacoma, the area of the marriage record. If it's her, she was around 20 at the time of her death.

Patricia Rose went missing from the Sacramento area in approximately 1980. Rose was estranged from her husband, John Bowden, at the time of her disappearance.

The circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death are suspicious, and detectives are seeking the public’s help for any possible information regarding Patricia’s death or disappearance. Please email any information about this case to PCSOTipLine@placer.ca.gov.''

I wonder if John Bowden has a strong alibi. Besides, where the people in neighbouring rooms at the motel considered suspicious?
Why did she left the room and let her 18 month child alone?

So she was last seen in 1980 but a divorce was filed in 1982. I wonder who raised the son.

'The identification of Patricia Ann Rose’s body has only deepened the mystery surrounding the fate of a woman who vanished from a Sacramento hotel around 1980.'

''Rose’s now-adult son also knew only what he’d been told over the years. Placer County sheriff’s investigators told SFGATE they found “no records or reports” in Sacramento County of a baby being found abandoned in a hotel. “This information came from the sister and the son, but they did not have much information,” a spokesperson said.
As of early March, they have only been able to find Rose’s sister and son. It’s not clear if her estranged husband is still alive. California records show Bowden was granted a divorce in Sacramento County in July 1982.
Investigators are hoping someone knows something about Rose’s death, which they are calling “suspicious.” Anyone with information is asked to email the sheriff’s office at PCSOTipLine@placer.ca.gov.

No records, not even a police report? It makes me wonder whether Patricia's husband made that whole story up. Sorry, but I can't exclude him as a suspect.

Yeah, that's concerning - although I wonder if they’ve kept all the records from 42 years ago. Records of a baby found in a motel room might not have been kept.
