Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP84161) and 6 other sources
Sharon Pinegar, a 41-year-old Caucasian female, was last seen in Texas on January 1, 1987. At the time of her disappearance, she was approximately 5'5" tall and weighed between 130 and 140 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes and is known to wear dentures. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are limited, but it is believed she may have been en route to Florida.

Few details are available in the case of Sharon Pinegar, and she has not been heard from since her disappearance. Although she was last seen in Texas, Pinegar had previously resided in Iowa. As a result, law enforcement agencies in Iowa are handling the investigation into her vanishing.

The Des Moines Police Department in Iowa is the primary investigating agency for this case. The case remains open, and the lack of significant leads has made it a challenging and enduring mystery for both investigators and her family. The Polk County Sheriff's Office is also listed as an investigating agency.
