Yien Khaun Saechao, 84, was last seen on July 3, 2005, leaving her home near Camelot Court and St. Marks Street in Redding, California, at about 7:00 a.m. She was reportedly going for a walk and was seen by witnesses walking eastbound on Lake Boulevard near the railroad tracks. At the time she disappeared she wore a green and black striped dress, a black fur hat, large hoop earrings, and silver and gold bracelets.

Saechao was considered a vulnerable adult because of possible dementia and other health issues, including complaints of chest pains and blurred vision. Searches of nearby spots she frequented—Shopko, Raley’s on Lake Boulevard, and the Community Gardens near Caldwell Park—turned up no clues. The weather that day was extremely hot, which heightened concern for her safety.

Anyone who remembers seeing Yien Saechao or who has information about her movements that morning is asked to come forward.
