Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11728) and 2 other sources
Anna Venerenea Amici, a 64-year-old woman, was last seen on the night of October 3, 1978, in Palmdale, California. She had finished her shift at her workplace on the 37000 block of 47th Street East around 10:00 p.m. and was heading home. However, she never arrived, and her family became concerned when her granddaughter discovered the following on October 5: the doors to Anna’s home were unlocked, the lights were left on, and nothing appeared out of place. There were no signs of a struggle, but Anna was missing, and her personal belongings remained untouched.

Anna was described as having red hair, brown eyes, and wearing eyeglasses with simulated diamond decorations. She had distinguishing scars, including one from a hysterectomy and a circular vaccination scar on her upper arm. Authorities suspect foul play due to the unusual circumstances, and her case remains unsolved despite ongoing investigations.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, as her case continues to be classified as suspicious.
