Anita Anne Qvist was 15 when she was last seen on January 1, 1979, in San Francisco. Family last saw her at a family event around that time; she had brief phone contact with relatives in 1984 but has not been heard from since. Anita is described as 5 feet 8 inches, about 150 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes.

There is uncertainty about the exact circumstances of her disappearance and no definitive clues about what happened. Authorities list her as endangered missing because of the long period without contact. The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office is handling the case and investigators and missing persons organizations continue to seek leads.

If anyone knew Anita, where she lived, worked, or who she saw in the early 1980s, please contact the Sheriff’s Office with any information.
