Patricia Sue Tolhurst, 46, was last seen on April 18, 2014, in Twain Harte, California. She told friends in a letter dated April 20 that she planned to visit Kennedy Meadows to spend time by the water. On April 22 her white Toyota 4Runner was located abandoned near Donnell Vista Point on Highway 108 with her purse and other belongings inside, but Patricia was not with the vehicle.

Patricia owned a restaurant called Patty’s Shack in East Sonora and was reportedly experiencing financial difficulties at the time she went missing. The Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office conducted searches around the area where the vehicle was found but uncovered no sign of her. Investigators have not indicated any clear evidence of foul play, and her disappearance remains unsolved.
