Jacqueline Lucille Cooper was 27 when she was last seen in Modesto, California, on November 12, 1976. On the day she vanished she withdrew $4,000 from her bank account and left with James Carlin Toliver, a coworker at the Tri/Valley Growers cannery. Cooper’s family reported that Toliver had threatened her, saying he would harm her family if she did not go with him. She was never seen again after that encounter.

Toliver is regarded as a prime suspect and has been linked to the disappearances of several other women in the Modesto area, including his wife Patricia Toliver and two other women, Hester Lee Chandler and Mary Watkins. Toliver died in 1980 from a heart attack while fleeing from a crime scene after killing another woman. Cooper’s body has never been found and, despite investigations, her case remains unsolved; foul play is strongly suspected given the circumstances and Toliver’s violent history.

Did anyone who knew Jacqueline or the places she frequented in Modesto in 1976 see or hear anything that could help explain what happened to her?
