Tommi Lee Cooper, 21, of Rescue, California, was last seen on July 31, 1981. That morning she left her 1 ½-year-old child with a friend and said she might go to Reno or attend a concert in Oakland after working in Sacramento. She never arrived at her job at the Sun Club, a massage parlor, and never returned for her child.

A yellow and white 1977 Dodge Aspen registered to her was found abandoned on August 13, 1981, at 51st and Woodbine in Sacramento. The car contained a makeup kit on the back seat and money in the glove compartment; there were no signs of a struggle and no clear indication of where she might have gone. Tommi was petite, about 5 feet 0 inches to 5 feet 2 inches and roughly 100 pounds, with frosted brown hair and a half-inch scar below her left eye. She was last seen wearing a maroon blouse with a flower near the neck and a black wrap-around skirt.

The Sacramento Police Department continues to investigate Tommi as a missing person; no leads have produced an explanation for her disappearance. Anyone with information about Tommi’s movements on July 31, 1981, or who saw her car after that date is asked to come forward.
