Elizabeth Barbara Bartholomew, an 80-year-old woman, was last seen on January 8, 1991, near her home in Midpines, California. She had been with her husband on their property, located close to Carstens Road and Plumbar Road, about eight miles east of Mariposa, near the Sierra National Forest. That day, she had been riding a tractor with her husband when she expressed a desire to walk. After being allowed to walk alongside the tractor, she wandered out of sight and vanished.
At the time of her disappearance, Bartholomew was wearing a down jacket and jeans. She was also carrying food. Bartholomew suffered from memory loss caused by Alzheimer's disease and had experienced several strokes, which likely contributed to her becoming disoriented. Despite extensive searches in the surrounding forested area, no trace of her has ever been found, leaving her case unsolved.
Her physical description includes her standing at 5'0", weighing 140 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. She also had a noticeable scar on her neck and wore eyeglasses. Given her medical condition, authorities suspect she may have wandered too far from her home and was unable to find her way back. Despite the passage of time, the search for information about her whereabouts continues.
