Dorothy Vivian Autrey, 84, was last seen the night of February 20, 2008, at her home in Cayucos, California. Family reported she lived with her grandson, Matthew James Levine, who said he woke up on February 21 and found her gone. Her white Buick and other belongings were left behind; she was not known to walk because of knee and foot problems and preferred to drive.

Searchers found Autrey’s waterlogged purse near the Cayucos pier but no other sign of her. Authorities noted inconsistencies in Levine’s account and bloodstains in the house. Levine later told police he had accidentally killed his grandmother during a confrontation, said he had disposed of her body off a cliff, and had been under the influence; despite searches her remains were not recovered. Autrey was described as a vibrant, active woman; investigators believed inheritance motive was involved.

Does anyone have information about Autrey’s last known movements in Cayucos or recalls seeing her car or her near the pier around February 20–21, 2008?
