Evelyn Joyce McDowell, 21, was last seen January 19, 1984, in front of the Yolo County Social Services office in Woodland, California. At the time she was reported wearing blue denim jeans, a light-colored shirt, dark oxford shoes and possibly a blue jacket; she had a small blue heart tattoo on her left shoulder.

Months earlier, in November 1983, Evelyn made a distressed phone call from a bar in Napa saying someone was trying to get her; the call ended abruptly. A few days after that call, her family received her address book in the mail after it was found on a Lucerne beach. Investigators questioned potential persons of interest and the family provided DNA from Evelyn’s brother to assist the search, but no trace of her has been found.

The case remains open. Anyone who knew Evelyn, saw her in Woodland or Napa in late 1983 or January 1984, or has information about the address book or that November phone call is asked to contact local authorities.
