Victoria Lee Specials, 44, was last seen on December 18, 2001, in Clearlake, California. She had recently split from her boyfriend and agreed to dog-sit at his house while he visited family for Christmas. That is the last time her family heard from her.

When relatives pressed the ex-boyfriend about Victoria’s whereabouts, he said she had gone to San Francisco for New Year’s. Family members who checked Victoria’s home found her purse with identification and money inside, but no sign of her. Her disappearance is considered suspicious and foul play is suspected. Victoria is 5 feet 4 inches, about 160 pounds, with dark blonde hair and blue eyes, and used aliases including Vicki Michell Davis and Raney Davis. Her older sister Deborah was abducted and murdered in 1969; neither case has been resolved.

Does anyone with knowledge of Clearlake or ties to Victoria’s circle have information that could help investigators?
