Rene Michelle Roof, 20, vanished after leaving her mother’s home in a mobile home park on East Avenue I in Lancaster, California, on April 15, 1994. She was 5 feet 5 inches, about 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing features included a scar on the back of her right thigh, a tattoo of a heart with a vine on her left wrist, and use of the alias Theresa Ranier.

Rene was described as leading a risky lifestyle, with a long history of drug addiction and contacts who were involved in criminal activity. Family and acquaintances stressed she was not the type to disappear without telling someone. Authorities have treated her as an endangered missing person and state foul play is strongly suspected; the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department continues to seek information. No significant clues have been reported.

If anyone knew Rene, recognized her by her alias, or has information about where she might have been after April 15, 1994, please contact investigators.
