I can't do google maps due to an inherent dislike of new technology, new to me at least. But that area is so densely wooded these people could be anywhere or in the ocean.

You’re absolutely right. This is part of the reason that Humboldt County has an inordinate number of missing people, as the article in the Northcoast Journal points out.

Kim Kemp joins with the Northcoast Journal in exploring those missing in the Emerald Triangle...Humboldt, Trinity and Mendocino counties. She lists everyone missing in the three counties...at least the ones she could find listed.

Note the event for the families of the missing in Sacramento June 9-10. Quoting Kym’s beautiful writing....

[FONT=&quot]Long after the missing posters on those who have vanished have faded and blown away in the wind, some family members will keep vigil. Some will keep vigil silently–barely acknowledging out loud the loose thread that caught on their heart when their loved one vanished and which now threatens to unravel their life. Some will keep vigil by reaching out to the media or police or both on a regular basis, hoping even decades after their loss that they will get answers. They hope but, at the same time, they fear to know for sure that their loved one is dead.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If you have a family or friend missing, an event this June 9 in Sacramento may be helpful to you. This free event will have law enforcement available to help record information. Family members can give DNA samples if they choose to help with identification. They are also “encouraged to bring photos, along with medical and dental records of their missing loved ones.”[/FONT]

More info on Erdel in the North Coast Journal of 8 February 2018: Still Missing

From this link, her name is Edrel, not Erdel, and she would now be 93.

Edrel Mae Pierce was 57 when she disappeared on May 17, 1981. She reportedly walked a short way down her driveway in Honeydew to mail some letters and never returned. An extensive search of the area by locals and law enforcement with cadaver dogs revealed nothing. She was said to be in poor health and suffering from a mental disorder. The area where she disappeared has been turned into a cannabis grow. Pierce, who would now be 93, is described as standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a light blue London Fog raincoat and a small white gold Bulova watch.
 
UPDATE: Edrel's age on DLC and the spelling of Edrel's name has been updated in the thread title.
