Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP18144) and 8 other sources
Anna Marie Anderson, 19, was last seen on December 5, 1983, in Cypress, California. She was reportedly at her home on the day of her disappearance. Anna was described as standing 5'5" tall and weighing 110 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. She had several distinctive physical features, including a cross tattoo on the web of her hand, a tattoo of the initials "HDVO" on her left ankle, and a surgical scar on her abdomen from a prior gallbladder removal.

On the day she vanished, Anna was wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, a white coat, and black suede shoes. She also had on a gold chain necklace, diamond stud earrings, and a gold-colored watch. Despite extensive investigations, very few details have surfaced about what happened to her. One potential sighting, reported a few years later, suggested she might have been seen in a Cypress bar with a man, but this has not been confirmed.

Anna's case remains unsolved, and authorities still consider it a missing person's case, suspecting foul play. Investigators urge anyone with information to contact the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
