Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8652) and 5 other sources
Tamera Ellen McCurry, 22 years old at the time, disappeared from Galveston, Texas, on July 1, 1982. She was last seen entering an orange or yellow van, and she has not been heard from since. On the day she vanished, Tamera was reportedly wearing a light blue one-piece swimsuit with a green fish design and a denim shirt. There were also reports that she may have been three months pregnant at the time of her disappearance.

Tamera, who may have also used the aliases Jessica Simmons or the last name Norris, had a distinctive scar near her left eyebrow. The circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear, and few details have surfaced over the decades. Investigators have considered various possibilities, but no definitive leads have emerged. Her case is still listed as an endangered missing person, and the search for answers continues.

Tamera’s family and law enforcement have not given up hope, though after more than 40 years, her case remains unsolved. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Pearland Police Department or the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse.
