Judy Lynn Smithson, 21, was last seen October 1, 1979, in North Hollywood, California. She had been living with her boyfriend and the two had reportedly broken up shortly before her disappearance. Judy was planning to drive home to attend her mother’s wedding but never arrived.

Judy is described as 5 feet 7 inches, about 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The FBI reportedly contacted her mother to ask about possible tattoos, though the mother was not aware of any. There was speculation that an unidentified woman found in Arizona later in 1979 could be linked to Judy, but no conclusive connection was established and the case remains unsolved and open.

If anyone knew Judy, knew where she was living or traveling in late 1979, or has information about the unidentified woman in Arizona, please come forward.
