On February 12, 1988, 45-year-old Erna Martin left her Granite Bay, California home around 11:00 a.m., dressed in a large light blue down ski jacket, blue-green jeans, and white tennis shoes. She departed on foot without taking any additional clothing or personal items. That morning marked the last confirmed sighting of her. Her husband reported her missing, expressing concern that she might be in an alcoholic coma somewhere, as she had a history of alcoholism.
There is some inconsistency regarding the exact date of Erna's disappearance. While some reports cite February 12, 1988, others mention February 15, 1988. Despite the discrepancy, it is agreed that she vanished in mid-February of that year. Since her disappearance, there has been no activity on her Social Security number, and she has not been heard from again.
At the time of her disappearance, Erna was facing personal challenges, including struggles with alcoholism and marital problems. Her husband believed that her disappearance was related to her alcohol issues. These personal difficulties may have contributed to her decision to leave or could have made her vulnerable to harm.
Erna Martin is described as a white female with blonde hair and blue eyes. She stood 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed approximately 115 pounds at the time she went missing. She wore eyeglasses and had no known distinguishing marks or tattoos. Dental records are available, and DNA has been collected to aid in identification efforts. ...Read More
