Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP56442) and 6 other sources
Tami Lee Sussi, aged 17, was last seen on December 30, 1979, in the Pacoima area of Los Angeles, California. Standing 5 feet tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds, she had blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a distinguishing scar on her left wrist. On the day of her disappearance, she was wearing a gray fur jacket and brown pants.

There were speculations that Tami might have traveled to Medford, Oregon, but her family never saw or heard from her again. The details surrounding her disappearance remain scarce, and despite investigations, no significant leads have emerged to explain what happened to her.

Tami's case is classified as endangered missing, and it has remained unsolved for over four decades. Authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the Los Angeles Police Department in hopes of shedding light on this long-standing mystery. The case remains active in missing person databases, continuing the search for answers.
