Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP40480) and 6 other sources
Peggy Ann Reed, a 15-year-old girl from Santa Rosa, California, was last seen on March 28, 1974. At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly in the area of Guerneville Road and Coddingtown Mall in Sonoma County and may have been hitchhiking. Peggy was wearing a navy blue men's windbreaker, a blue shirt with a floral design, brown dress slacks, and tan heels. She was carrying a small brown leather shoulder purse and occasionally wore glasses with gold metal frames.

Peggy's case is classified as endangered missing, and there has been speculation that her disappearance could be connected to the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders, a series of killings involving young women in the area around the same time. However, no definitive link has been established. Despite various investigations over the years, her whereabouts remain unknown, and she has never been heard from again.

Authorities continue to seek information that might lead to solving this decades-old case, and it remains active with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department. Her case is listed in national missing persons databases like NamUs, and updates are still being made in hopes of finding new leads.
