Terry Lynn Collier, 30 years old at the time, has been considered a missing person since January 1, 1979, with her last known location being in San Bernardino County, California. Collier's family last saw her when she departed from her home in Aurora, Illinois, at some point in 1979. Following her departure from Illinois, it is known that she traveled to Southern California and spent time in the areas of San Bernardino, Riverside, and possibly San Diego. It is believed that during her time in California, she may have resided in various homeless shelters.
Communication from Collier with her family ceased after she left her home state in 1979. Despite the passage of time, her case has seen periods of activity. Authorities discovered that Collier was in San Diego, California, in 2004 and were able to obtain a photograph of her from that time. Further information suggests that she may have relocated to the east coast of Florida sometime between 2008 and 2009.
The current status of Terry Lynn Collier's case presents some conflicting information. While The Charley Project lists her case as still open and that her family and the police are still searching for her, the Doe Network indicates that her case was closed per NamUs. Her distinguishing characteristics include having brown/red hair and blue eyes, and she wears eyeglasses. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'2" and weighed approximately 125 pounds. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is the investigating agency for her case.
