Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP159077) and 3 other sources
On December 2, 1961, 42-year-old Constance Mae Wallace, a wife and mother, disappeared from her home in Camarillo, California. The circumstances surrounding her departure were unsettling. She left behind a letter, the contents of which have not been widely disclosed, suggesting her disappearance was intentional. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as a Caucasian female, standing between 5'1" and 5'2" and weighing approximately 120 to 122 pounds. She had brown hair and blue eyes. The clothing she was last seen wearing consisted of black capris, a white pullover sweater, and a black cardigan sweater.

Adding to the mystery, Mrs. Wallace's vehicle was later discovered abandoned on the Pacific Coast Highway. Inside the car were her purse, identification, and credit cards, items a person intending to start a new life would typically take with them. The discovery of these personal effects left behind suggested a more ominous reason for her disappearance. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office was the investigating agency at the time, and a report was filed on December 3, 1961. Despite the investigation, there was no sign of Constance Wallace.

The case of Constance Mae Wallace has remained unsolved for decades, leaving her family and community without answers. The lack of any new leads or evidence over the years has turned her case cold. The overview of this case is one of profound mystery and lingering questions. A woman leaves her home and all her belongings behind, and simply vanishes. Without any witnesses or further evidence, law enforcement has been unable to determine if she left of her own accord and met with foul play, or if she orchestrated her own disappearance to start a new life. The passage of time has only deepened the enigma, and the whereabouts of Constance Mae Wallace remain unknown.
