Mary Colette Rawlinson, 19, was last seen October 30, 1985, in San Diego while staying at the Stage Coach Motel with a male companion. She left her belongings behind and told him she’d be right back, but never returned. She also used the name Rita Elizabeth Price.

Rawlinson had several distinctive tattoos: a flower bracelet on her wrist, a cross on her hand, and the words Coneja Crazy Gangsta around her ankle. Her disappearance happened during a violent period in the mid-1980s when more than 40 women in the San Diego area—many involved in prostitution or drug use—were murdered. Rawlinson’s roommate was found murdered and decapitated nine months after Mary vanished, a detail that has fueled questions about possible links to the other killings, though no connection has been established.

Her case is still listed as an endangered missing person. Anyone with information about Mary Rawlinson is asked to contact the San Diego Police Department.
