Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP71693) and 7 other sources
Angela Mae Jeff, a 20-year-old Native American woman, was last seen in the summer of 1979 in Oakland, California. The exact date of her disappearance is unclear, but it is commonly listed as June 24, her birthday. Angela, a member of the California Valley Miwok Tribe, was known for her distinctive features, including a teardrop tattoo near one of her eyes, a heart tattoo on her hand, and a noticeable outward rotation of her right foot when she walked. She also had a history of a fractured jaw, believed to have been inflicted by her boyfriend.

At the time of her disappearance, Angela was in a relationship, and shortly after she was reported missing by her family, her boyfriend suddenly fled to Mexico. This, combined with the circumstances of her disappearance, led authorities to suspect foul play, although no concrete leads or significant developments have emerged in the decades since. Despite being classified as an endangered missing person, few details have surfaced about her case, and it remains unsolved to this day.

Angela's family continues to seek justice, and her case remains open with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, which is actively investigating any potential leads. Public appeals for information have been ongoing, but the mystery surrounding Angela’s disappearance remains.
