Summary based on 7 sources
Lisa Jane Borden was 19 years old when she was last seen by her family in Big Spring, Texas, in October 1979. Shortly after, she traveled to California and made a phone call to her relatives. Her last known location was in Lodi, California, on October 10, 1979. Borden, who was known to hitchhike, has not been seen or heard from since that time.

After she was last heard from, Borden's boyfriend sent her a plane ticket to return to Texas, but the ticket was never retrieved. This has been a key detail in her case, suggesting that she may not have disappeared voluntarily. Authorities believe she may have been taken against her will. The investigation into her disappearance is being handled by Texas authorities.

Over the years, a few leads have emerged, though none have led to resolving the case. An unidentified friend of Borden's family reported that she was working as a waitress in Amarillo, Texas, but this information was never substantiated. Borden is described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'8" and weighed approximately 140 pounds. She has a scar on her left hand and had metal and screws implanted in that hand due to a prior injury. Her case remains an active missing person investigation.
Last Seen: Oct 10, 1979
