Edith Irene Bonham, 77, was last seen on October 8, 1979, in Monrovia, California. She lived alone in a trailer park and was described as a reserved woman who mostly kept to herself. Bonham attended a Senior Nutrition Activity Program meeting on October 17, 1979; the following day her credit card was used to buy gasoline in La Habra, which authorities believe she may have signed for herself.

Her son checked her home on November 10, 1979, after being unable to reach her and found her gone. Her green 1970 Chevrolet Nova was missing and dirty dishes were in the sink, which was uncharacteristic, yet there was no evidence of a struggle. Investigators say there is no hard evidence of a crime but believe she did not leave on her own. She was 5 feet 2 inches, about 100 pounds, wore eyeglasses, had pierced ears and full dentures with one lower tooth missing.

Does anyone have information about Edith Bonham’s whereabouts or remember seeing her car or her after October 8, 1979?
