Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1269) and 6 other sources
Kathryn Rebecca LaMadrid, a 40-year-old woman, was last seen on December 17, 2004, crossing the Noyo Bridge in Fort Bragg, California. She was described as 5'9" to 5'10" with blonde hair, which may have been dyed black, and blue or hazel eyes. Kathryn had a history of depression and had recently stopped taking her medication before her disappearance. Additionally, she had been involved in a car accident in November 2004, leading to speculation that she may have been suffering from amnesia.

On the day she vanished, Kathryn left her brother's house after an argument and was spotted walking across the bridge. Although there were unconfirmed sightings of her in the Fort Bragg area shortly after, and even in Oregon months later, no substantial leads have emerged. Her case remains unsolved, with authorities suspecting possible foul play, but no definitive evidence has been found to explain what happened.

In 2014, search efforts led to the discovery of clothing and other items in Fort Bragg, but the investigation yielded no conclusive results. Kathryn's family continues to seek answers, and her case remains open.
