Wilma Julia Joiner, 70, vanished from Vacaville, California, after leaving her niece’s home on Songbird Court on March 8, 2000. She had recently moved from Colorado Springs to live with family because of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis and was unfamiliar with the area. She left between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., reportedly carrying about $30 and likely intending to take a walk.

Search dogs picked up her scent to a nearby gas station on Leisure Town Road but found no further traces. At the time she was wearing a red sweater with black and white patterns, dark blue pants, blue sneakers and possibly a floppy denim hat. Family members said she resisted the move to California and believed she could care for herself; some suggested she might have left voluntarily while others feared foul play. Her whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone saw Wilma on March 8, 2000, or remembers a woman matching her description in Vacaville that day, please share what you know.
