Florence Anne Coker, 32, was last seen July 18, 1981, after leaving her home on County Road 486 in Crystal River, Florida, following an argument with her husband. She took personal items including makeup and about $1,000 in cash, and drove off in a 1979 bronze Chevrolet Malibu. Her husband reported her missing two days later.

On July 29 the Malibu was found abandoned in a parking lot near the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg; Florence and her belongings were not with the vehicle. Her husband said she had been drinking and possibly depressed, but family members say she would not have left without telling her young son or her ailing parents, with whom she was very close. Foul play is suspected and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the St. Petersburg or Crystal River area see Florence or that 1979 bronze Chevrolet Malibu around July 18–29, 1981?
