Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP32254) and 6 other sources
Deretha L. Johnson, a 20-year-old woman, was last seen in San Francisco, California, on April 1, 1982. At the time of her disappearance, Deretha was five months pregnant. She was described as 5 feet tall, weighing around 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a beige blouse.

Very few details are available about the circumstances of her disappearance, and she has not been heard from since that day. Despite the passage of time, her case remains unsolved, and authorities have not received any significant leads regarding her whereabouts. The San Francisco Police Department continues to investigate the case, and they encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Deretha's case has been classified as endangered missing, and her family and investigators are still seeking answers after all these years. Although dental records are available, no other identifying information, such as DNA or fingerprints, has been publicly reported.
