Penny Mollett, also known as Penelope Ratliff Mollett, was last seen on April 1, 1984, in Orlando, Florida. At the time, she was 31 years old, standing 5'7" to 5'8" tall and weighing around 100 pounds. She was described as having brown hair and hazel eyes. Mollett had been going through a difficult divorce, with reports indicating a history of domestic violence involving her estranged husband. Despite the turmoil in her personal life, it was highly unusual for her to leave her home without maintaining contact, especially since she had a 14-year-old son at the time of her disappearance.
On the day she went missing, her car, a metallic blue 1979 BMW 320i with a Florida license plate, was seen leaving her residence at around 2 a.m. A friend reportedly dropped her off at the Orlando International Airport, but it remains unclear if she boarded any flight. This detail remains one of the most significant mysteries surrounding her case. There have been no confirmed sightings or communications from her since that day.
Mollett's case has remained unsolved for decades, despite her being listed in both NamUs and other missing person databases. Investigators noted her disappearance was out of character, which deepened concerns that foul play may have been involved. Her case remains open, but with no new leads or developments in recent years, it remains one of Orlando’s cold cases.
