Patricia Lynn Lyons, 44, vanished after her last known contact on March 7, 2009. A mother of three from Savannah, Tennessee, she had been communicating online with a truck driver after Christmas 2008 and left with him. Family members did not know his name; they only recall his truck might have been pink or a light red color.

Patricia’s own cell phone was broken, and the calls to her family came from the trucker’s phone, possibly from a blocked number. In her final call she told her son she was near New Mexico or Arizona and that the trucker planned to buy her a Greyhound ticket so she could arrive in Jackson, Tennessee, on the morning of March 9, 2009. She never arrived at the Jackson bus station and has not been heard from since.

At disappearance she was 5 feet 10 inches, 132 pounds, with brown hair, green eyes and tattoos: a cross with ribbons and her children’s names, a butterfly on her lower back, and an ankle tattoo. The Chester County Sheriff’s Department in Tennessee and the Tucson Police Department in Arizona are handling the investigation. The identity of the truck driver and the events before her last call remain central unanswered questions. If anyone knew Patricia, the trucker, or saw a pink or light red truck in early March 2009, please come forward with information.
