Elizabeth Barbara Bartholomew, age 80, was last seen January 8, 1991, near her home in Midpines, California. She had been riding a tractor with her husband on property near Carstens Road and Plumbar Road, about eight miles east of Mariposa and close to the Sierra National Forest. After asking to walk, she left the tractor, wandered out of sight and never returned.

At the time she vanished she wore a down jacket and jeans and was carrying food. Bartholomew had Alzheimer’s disease and a history of strokes, which reportedly left her with memory loss and disorientation. She is described as 5 feet 0 inches, 140 pounds, with gray hair, brown eyes, a scar on her neck and eyeglasses. Extensive searches of the nearby forested terrain turned up no trace.

Anyone who remembers Elizabeth or who has information about her movements that day is asked to come forward.
