Bettye Whitaker, age 64, went missing on March 4, 1981, from Novato, California. At the time, she was a patient at Novato Community Hospital. Against the advice of medical staff, she left the hospital and has not been seen since. Bettye was wearing a gold bracelet and a rosary when she disappeared. She stood 5'2", weighed 160 pounds, and had gray or partially gray hair and blue eyes. Notably, she had IV scars, adding to the few distinguishing characteristics available in her case.

Despite extensive efforts, investigators have been unable to locate any family members or obtain DNA, dental records, or even photographs of Bettye. This has made her case particularly challenging to solve. Bettye also went by the alias "Lana Lee." Her vehicle was not found, and there has been no further information regarding her whereabouts since her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved, and any information that could lead to her discovery is highly sought after by authorities.

Last Seen: Mar 4, 1981
