Tamara Rummel Missing Person Case

On May 20, 2016, 49-year-old Tamara "Tammy" Rummel was last seen in an unincorporated area of Covina, California. A mother of four and grandmother to six, her daughter dropped her off at her residence that day. About 90 minutes after being dropped off, investigators believe Rummel left her home as a passenger in an unfamiliar SUV with an unknown individual. She has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as a white female, 5'3" to 5'6" tall, weighing between 140 and 170 pounds, with short, curly brown hair and blue eyes. She has a seven-inch scar that runs from underneath her right breast to her shoulder. She was believed to be wearing jeans and a yellow and gray striped t-shirt.

The last confirmed sighting of Tamara Rummel was later on the afternoon of May 20, 2016, at a bank ATM in Covina, where she was captured on surveillance video withdrawing money. The footage showed a man with her at the ATM. This man was wearing a white T-shirt and a baseball cap with an unknown logo. It has not been confirmed if this was the same person she was seen leaving her house with earlier. Investigators found it suspicious that all activity on her cell phone ceased hours after the ATM transaction. This lack of communication was considered highly out of character for Rummel, who was a homeowner and known for being in frequent contact with her family and friends.

The disappearance of Tamara Rummel remains an unresolved case. Her family described her as a doting grandmother who had retired about 10 years prior to her disappearance from her position as a media director for a resource center that assisted parents of children with special needs. The man seen with her in the ATM surveillance footage was later identified by authorities. During a routine traffic stop, police found some of Rummel's personal belongings and drugs in his vehicle. Despite this, he has maintained that he was not involved in her disappearance. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau has been investigating the case, but no significant developments have been publicly announced. Her family continues to seek answers regarding her whereabouts and the circumstances of her disappearance.
