Summary based on the NamUs case record (CP999655366) and 7 other sources
Judith Ann Klein, a 76-year-old woman, was last seen in Upper Lake, California, on December 26, 2023. She reportedly informed a friend that she was walking to a gas station but never returned and has not been heard from since. Described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, Klein is 5'5" tall and weighs 142 pounds. She may also use the last name Troup.

The official report of her disappearance was not made until January 4, 2024, when a neighbor, concerned after not seeing her for weeks, requested a welfare check. Investigators from the Lake County Sheriff's Office located Klein's vehicle at a friend's house and her cell phone at her residence. At the time of the initial reports in late January 2024, authorities were in the process of seeking a search warrant to review her bank activity.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for this case. Records indicate that Klein has previously resided in Lakeport and Ukiah, California. Few other details have been made available to the public regarding the ongoing investigation.
