Penny Sue Warfel, 56, of Moberly, Missouri, was last contacted on September 15, 2017, one day before her 57th birthday. She is described as a Caucasian female, blonde hair, blue eyes, five feet two inches tall, about 120 pounds. Family members say she regularly kept in touch, making her sudden silence out of character.

Her husband, Lawrence Warfel, told family she had left for Florida after an argument, but there is no confirmation she ever left Missouri. No missing person report was filed with law enforcement until June 2018. Investigators later found Social Security benefits being withdrawn from her account after she disappeared; bank ATM footage showed Lawrence using her debit card. In September 2018 he admitted using the card and ultimately pleaded guilty in October 2019 to aggravated identity theft; in January 2020 he was sentenced and ordered to pay restitution. The whereabouts of Penny Warfel remain unknown and the case is unsolved.

If anyone knew Penny’s routines, travel plans, or saw her after September 15, 2017, please share what is known.
