Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP120290) and 3 other sources

Gail Patricia Thaman, a 30-year-old woman from Thousand Oaks, California, was last seen on February 26, 1981. Gail had become estranged from her husband a few months before her disappearance after a violent altercation in which she allegedly attacked him with a knife. Despite this, her husband did not press charges, and he passed away from a drug overdose just one month after Gail went missing. No direct evidence links him to her disappearance. Gail's case remains unsolved, and she has not been heard from since that day.
