Betty Jean Toepfer, 87, went missing on April 8, 2015, from Jurupa Valley, California. That morning, she was last seen by her son when he left for work at around 6:30 a.m. Betty, who regularly used public transportation, was known to visit downtown Riverside for shopping and walking. She was captured on surveillance cameras boarding a Riverside Transit Agency bus and exiting at the Riverside terminal later that morning. She was last seen walking toward Market Street on foot.

At the time of her disappearance, Betty was reported to be wearing a teal and black zip-up jacket, dark pants, and black-and-white Converse shoes, carrying a medium-sized black purse. Though she was generally active and independent, Betty was hearing-impaired and showed early signs of dementia. Despite a Silver Alert being issued and an extensive search by her family and local authorities, she has not been located.

Her case remains unsolved, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
