Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17240) and 7 other sources
Edrel Mae Pierce, a 56-year-old woman from Honeydew, California, was last seen on May 17, 1981. On that day, she walked down her driveway to mail some letters and never returned. Pierce had a history of mental health issues and had been a psychiatric patient for many years. At the time of her disappearance, she was in poor health. She was last seen wearing a light blue London Fog raincoat, dark blue slacks, a multicolored blouse, and tan Kinney boots. Pierce also wore a one-carat diamond ring and a small white gold Bulova watch with a gray face.

Her disappearance remains suspicious. Despite extensive searches, including efforts by local law enforcement and cadaver dogs, no trace of her was ever found. Foul play is suspected, though there have been no solid leads. The area where she went missing has since been developed into a cannabis-growing region, complicating any potential recovery efforts.

Pierce’s case remains unsolved, and her family and investigators continue to seek answers about her disappearance.
