Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP42455) and 7 other sources
Ingrid Anderson, aged 27, disappeared on May 20, 1971, from Richmond, California. She was last seen at her home, and her disappearance remains unsolved. On the day she vanished, Ingrid’s husband, a Richmond police officer, took their two sons to a barbershop. When they returned home, Ingrid was missing, although her car was still parked outside. Her mother later reported her missing. At the time, Ingrid and her husband were in the process of getting a divorce, and just nine months after her disappearance, he remarried and moved out of state with the family.

Ingrid stood 5'2" tall, weighed about 120 pounds, and had brown hair and blue eyes. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are unclear, and there are few details available about what might have happened to her. Despite the passage of decades, Ingrid’s case remains unresolved, and foul play is suspected.
Last Seen: May 20, 1971
