Coleman was last seen on the Barona Indian Reservation in Lakeside, California on September 3, 1986. She left her mother's home at 11:00 a.m. with a box of kittens to give away at a local store. She apparently did arrive there, and a friend of her brother's said he gave her a ride part of the way home and dropped her off at the roadside. This is the last time anyone saw her. Coleman left behind her purse, cigarettes and her young daughter. She has never been heard from again. Few details are available in her case. Since Coleman's disappearance, her parents, stepbrother and one brother have died. Her brother, daughter, niece and nephew are still alive and want answers in her case. She is presumed deceased.
