Patricia Margaret Phillips was 29 when she was last heard from in early February 1979 while in Buffalo, Wyoming. Her sister was the last known family member to speak with her, and Patricia never contacted family again.

She is described as a White woman, about 5 feet 5 inches and 150 pounds, with blond or strawberry-blond, naturally curly hair, blue eyes, and eyeglasses with very thick lenses. Patricia was hard of hearing or hearing-impaired; The Charley Project also notes she suffered from mental illness. She may have used the last name Lawrence in some older references. The Charley Project reports she was driving a blue Ford when last in contact.

The Buffalo Police Department is listed as the investigating agency. If anyone knew Patricia, saw her around Buffalo in February 1979, or has information about the blue Ford, please share what is known.
