Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17786) and 7 other sources
Lana Coronado, aged 31, was last seen on April 1, 1980, in San Francisco, California. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as a Caucasian woman with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5'6" tall and weighing approximately 140 pounds. She had a distinctive scar on her right arm and may have used the alias "Lana Lou Sartoris."

Very few details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are available. It is unclear what led to her vanishing, and she has not been heard from since. The case remains unsolved, with no significant developments reported over the years. The San Francisco Police Department has continued to keep the case open, seeking any information that might provide clues to her whereabouts.

Her case is classified as a missing person investigation, though no evidence has surfaced to suggest what might have happened to her after she was last seen. Despite the passage of time, authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the San Francisco Police Department, as even small details could assist in resolving her case.
Last Seen: Apr 1, 1980
