Jeanne T. Palinkas was last officially seen in Portland, Oregon, on June 9, 1983. She was 18 at the time, described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, and about 5 feet 5 inches tall. Few contemporaneous details about her disappearance were recorded, and the early investigation is described as sparse.

The timeline is complicated by a later, unconfirmed contact: Jeanne’s mother reported a phone conversation with her in November of either 1984 or 1985. After that reported call there has been no further sign of Jeanne, and the case remains open with the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. The scarcity of public information has left many questions about what happened in those early months and afterward.

If anyone knew Jeanne, saw her around Portland in 1983–1985, or has information that could help clarify her timeline, please share what you know with investigators.
