Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1216) and 8 other sources
Linda Rose Grimm, a 24-year-old woman, was last seen on March 31, 1986, in Perris, California. She reportedly left her home to purchase a pack of cigarettes and never returned. Linda, who stood 5'2" tall and weighed about 105 pounds, had distinguishing marks, including a small mole near her left eye, a scar between her eyes, and a cesarean section scar on her abdomen.

In the months following her disappearance, Linda contacted her mother several times, claiming she was living in Wichita, Kansas, with a truck driver named Robert Masters. She expressed fear during these conversations but refused to reveal her exact location. Her final call was in October 1987, after which all contact ceased. Despite extensive investigations, including the discovery of her abandoned vehicle in Huntington Beach, Linda has not been found. Foul play is suspected, and authorities from both California and Texas are investigating her case.
Last Seen: Mar 31, 1986
