Patricia Minassian, 37, vanished on June 30, 1996, while vacationing with her family on Cape Cod. That day she drove away in the family minivan, leaving a 15-page letter expressing guilt and saying her family would be better off without her, though she did not explicitly state intent to die. She was last seen in Bourne; the van was later found abandoned near Cahoon Hollow Beach in Wellfleet, the site of her first date with her husband.

Patricia struggled with depression, and authorities considered suicide by walking into the ocean, but no body was ever found. Her wedding rings, credit cards and bank activity remained unchanged. Unconfirmed sightings in Brockton in 1997 prompted speculation she might have started a new life.

Does anyone have information about Patricia’s movements in 1996–97 or those areas that could help resolve what happened?
