Summary based on 1 source
Penni Anderson was publicly listed as a missing woman from Omaha, Nebraska, after being last seen on May 13, 2018, when she was 42 years old. The public trail of her case appears to have been limited, with one archived case-update source showing that The Charley Project added a Penni Anderson case on June 7, 2019, among other missing-person listings from that date. That same archived update did not mark her entry as “resolved” in the update list, and the individual case page is no longer available at the same location, leaving the early public record sparse and incomplete.

The broader Nebraska missing-person system is maintained through the Nebraska State Patrol’s Missing Persons Clearinghouse, which allows searches by name, reporting agency, gender, race, and adult or juvenile classification. Nebraska Crime Stoppers states that the Nebraska State Patrol maintains the Clearinghouse under state law, that the searchable missing-person information is updated regularly, and that case-status questions should be directed to local law enforcement. In Penni’s case, the public-facing online information does not provide a detailed narrative about the circumstances of May 13, 2018, the exact location in Omaha where she was last seen, who reported her missing, or what investigative steps followed.

Later online public-record sources indicate that the matter no longer appears to be an active missing-person case, although the exact date of resolution is unknown because the available online information is vague. Public salary records list a Penni Anderson K employed by the University of Nebraska Medical Center as a dispatcher, with records showing that she held that job from 2021 to 2025. A public profile search result also lists “Penni Sanford-Nielsen Anderson” as a training lead and UNMC public safety dispatcher living in Omaha, Nebraska. These later records strongly indicate that Penni was found alive after the missing-person listing, though the sources located do not provide a formal recovery announcement, date, or explanation of where she had been.

What can be told from the online record is therefore a brief but important arc: Penni Anderson, a 42-year-old woman connected to Omaha, was reported missing after May 13, 2018; her case reached public missing-person awareness by at least June 2019; and later public records point to her being alive and working in Omaha in the years after the disappearance. The lack of a detailed public resolution means the most compassionate and accurate overview is that this appears to have been a missing-person report that was later resolved without a clearly published timeline, and the publicly available information now suggests Penni Anderson is alive and that the case is no longer active.
