Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19578)
Wendie Press, a 60-year-old woman, was last seen on November 15, 2012, in Colton, California. She had been discharged from a medical facility on that day, but after leaving, she never returned to her home in Redlands. Her disappearance is particularly concerning because all of her belongings were left behind, indicating that she did not intend to go far. Wendie is described as a Caucasian woman with blonde hair, standing about 5'8" and weighing approximately 130 pounds.

Her case has garnered some attention, particularly from online missing person databases, but little information has surfaced about her whereabouts since that day. Despite ongoing investigations, no significant leads have been found, and her family and loved ones are still seeking answers. Wendie’s case is classified as a cold case, and those with information are encouraged to come forward to assist authorities.

The mystery of her disappearance remains unsolved, and it highlights the struggle many families face when a loved one goes missing without a trace. As with many missing person cases, efforts to keep her story alive continue, with organizations urging the public to help provide any information that could lead to resolving the case.
