Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33048) and 6 other sources
Sally Anne Schneider, a 26-year-old woman, was last seen on February 18, 1984, in San Anselmo, California. She vanished under unclear circumstances and has not been seen since. At the time of her disappearance, Schneider was described as 5'4" tall, weighing around 130 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last known to be wearing a gray tweed jacket, a purple blouse, purple plaid pants, and blue canvas shoes. She also had a distinctive scar on her right knee.

The exact circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain a mystery. Schneider's family never reported any ongoing disputes, and there is no evidence suggesting she intended to leave without a trace. Adding to the mystery, her wallet was mailed back to her apartment a day after she was last seen, which some found unsettling. Over the years, investigators have continued to work on the case, but no significant leads have been found. DNA samples have been submitted in hopes of identifying any remains, but there has been no match.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the San Anselmo Police Department. Her case remains open, and authorities are still seeking answers.
