Janie June Coe, 38, disappeared from Petaluma, California, on April 29, 1997. She was last seen returning to her Penrod Drive home around 3 p.m. after attending job training for a new position; her three children were visiting relatives and she failed to pick them up as planned a few days later. Janie had recently lost a job as a retirement home administrator but reportedly felt hopeful about the new opportunity.

Three hours after she was last seen, an unidentified heavyset woman used Janie’s ATM card to withdraw $20 at a Petaluma bank; surveillance showed the woman driving a 1978–1982 Ford Mustang but the footage was too poor for identification. Janie’s two-tone blue 1989 Aerostar van was found abandoned on May 5, 1997, in Napa, parked far from public transit; Janie’s eyeglasses, contact lenses, longtime pet and other belongings were left behind. The case went cold for years but investigators later developed new DNA evidence and released age-progressed images to generate leads. Does anyone who knew Janie or lived in Petaluma or Napa in 1997 have information that could help?
