Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22911) and 5 other sources
Gabriele Uralli, 25 years old, was last seen on September 28, 1978, in Walnut Creek, California. She disappeared following an argument with her husband at their home on Walker Avenue. Two days later, on September 30, her vehicle, a brown 1960s Chevrolet station wagon, was found abandoned near the Golden Gate Bridge. Inside the vehicle, authorities discovered her personal belongings, including her purse, wallet, and identification, but there was no trace of Gabriele herself.

Despite the discovery of her vehicle, Gabriele has never been heard from again. Her family, who mostly resided in Germany, have had no further contact with her since her disappearance. Foul play is suspected, but no substantial leads have surfaced over the years. The case remains unsolved, with law enforcement continuing to investigate any new information that may emerge.
