Anna Venerenea Amici, 64, was last seen the night of October 3, 1978, in Palmdale, California. She finished her shift on the 37000 block of 47th Street East at about 10:00 p.m. and was heading home but never arrived.

On October 5 her granddaughter found Anna’s house with the doors unlocked, lights left on, and no sign of disturbance. Personal belongings were untouched and there were no visible signs of a struggle. Anna was described as having red hair, brown eyes, wearing eyeglasses with simulated diamond decorations, and bearing scars including one from a hysterectomy and a circular vaccination scar on her upper arm. Authorities list the circumstances as suspicious and suspect foul play.

Anyone who knew Anna or has information about her movements in Palmdale around October 3–5, 1978, is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
