Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8546) and 7 other sources
Linda Ann House, a 29-year-old woman from Dallas, Texas, was last seen on November 8, 1985. She was eight months pregnant at the time of her disappearance and had two young sons from a previous marriage. House had been dating her boyfriend, who was the father of her unborn child, but when authorities attempted to question him, he initially denied knowing her. Later, he refused to cooperate further, directing police to his attorney instead.

At the time of her disappearance, House was wearing a violet and white checkered maternity outfit. She was last seen in her Dallas apartment and was believed to have been taken against her will. Shortly after her disappearance, she was declared legally dead due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding the case. Despite several investigations, few details have emerged over the years, leaving her case unsolved. There remains significant mystery around what happened to her that day, and law enforcement continues to seek any new leads.

The Dallas Police Department still considers this case open and is seeking information from the public in hopes of uncovering new details regarding Linda's fate.
