Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25582) and 8 other sources
Sara Jane Fawcett, 51, was last seen on the morning of September 23, 2011, in Pollock Pines, California. The day before her disappearance, she called in sick to her job at a Wal-Mart in Placerville, which was unusual for her. She was last seen the following morning but has not been heard from since.

Sara didn't own a car, often using her father's vehicle, which was left behind when she vanished. Along with the car, she left her purse, phone, and other personal belongings at home—behavior that was out of character. No signs of foul play were immediately apparent, but few details about her case have surfaced over the years. Her family and authorities have continued their search, but as of now, her whereabouts remain a mystery.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Department has been leading the investigation and continues to seek information from the public to help solve this enduring case.

Last Seen: Sep 23, 2011
