Helen Thompson Missing Person Case

Helen Thompson, an 81-year-old woman from Pismo Beach, California, was last seen on August 3, 2008. She was walking westbound on Capistrano Street near the ocean in the Shell Beach neighborhood, a routine she followed daily. Thompson, who lived alone with her cat, suffered from dementia and was known to become easily confused. She was last seen wearing a tan trench coat, jeans, and a burgundy felt top hat.

Helen had previously wandered off and been found by authorities, but despite an extensive search of the area this time, no signs of her were uncovered. Adult Protective Services had offered to assist her, but she declined, believing she could manage on her own. Her disappearance remains unsolved, and investigators encourage anyone with information to come forward. Local police continue to investigate, although there have been no new leads.
