Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP988) and 8 other sources
Patricia Marie Small, 18, was last seen on May 11, 2002, in Liberty, Texas. She was dropped off at Liberty High School on Beaumont Avenue and has not been seen or heard from since. Patricia had recently moved to Liberty from China, Texas, and was still adjusting to her new surroundings at the time of her disappearance.

Described as a Caucasian female with brown hair (highlighted with blonde), blue eyes, and standing between 5'6" and 5'9", Patricia had a distinguishing tattoo on her right ankle—a heart with a wavy ribbon that read "Jennifer Best Friends 4 Ever." She also had a mole on the right side of her head. Despite an extensive investigation, few details have emerged about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, and there have been no confirmed sightings or significant leads since she vanished.

Authorities have stated that there is no immediate evidence of foul play, but the case remains open, and her family continues to hope for answers. Anyone with information about Patricia's disappearance is encouraged to contact the Liberty Police Department, as her case remains unresolved over two decades later.
