Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4257) and 2 other sources
Gwendolyn Hooser, a 58-year-old woman, was last seen on January 8, 2007, when a relative dropped her off at a bus stop near Universal Studios in Burbank, California. She typically resided in or around Santa Monica, California. Gwendolyn has not been heard from since, and the details surrounding her disappearance remain limited. She was described as an African-American woman, standing 5'4" and weighing 110 pounds, with dark brown hair and brown eyes. On the day she disappeared, she was reportedly wearing a bracelet and may have been wearing a scarf on her head.

Although law enforcement has been involved in the investigation, few leads have surfaced over the years. The case remains unsolved, and her family and the Burbank Police Department continue to seek information that could provide answers. If anyone has information, they are encouraged to contact the authorities.
