Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51595) and 8 other sources

Kathy Marie Silveri, 43 years old, was last seen on January 12, 1996, in Oxnard, California. Kathy, who worked as an x-ray technician, left her job at Las Islas Family Medical Center at around 5 p.m. and biked home to Silver Strand Beach. After arriving home, she spoke with some neighbors, collecting signatures for a petition, and then went inside. That was the last time she was seen.

Kathy's disappearance raised concerns when she didn’t show up for work over the next few days. Her coworkers, initially thinking she might have taken the day off, contacted her estranged husband when she missed more workdays. Upon visiting her house, they found no signs of struggle, and all her personal belongings—like her bike, car, and identification—were still there. Her cat was found inside, hungry and unattended.

Kathy was described as a community activist who maintained a structured and reliable lifestyle, making her sudden disappearance highly unusual. She had been amicably separated from her husband for years, but they remained in regular contact. Investigators have never ruled out foul play, and despite the passage of time, Kathy’s case remains unsolved, with authorities believing she likely met with foul play.
