Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11786) and 5 other sources
Edna Luella Reynolds, a 61-year-old woman, was last seen on April 7, 1982, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. On the day of her disappearance, it is believed she may have driven to Santa Rosa, New Mexico, before returning to Albuquerque. However, Edna was never heard from again. Her case was classified as an endangered missing person due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

In October 1982, six months after she went missing, her vehicle was discovered abandoned on a remote road near Willard, New Mexico. Adding to the mystery, two years later, hunters found Edna's purse approximately one mile from where her car had been located. Despite these findings, there have been no further significant clues, and her case remains unsolved.

Edna was described as being 5'2" tall, weighing around 130 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and blue eyes. At the time she was last seen, she was wearing a tan camel hair jacket. Her case is still under investigation by the Albuquerque Police Department, but the lack of substantial leads has kept it a cold case for many years.
