Eubah Thornton, 70, of Winter Haven, Florida, disappeared on February 14, 1984. She was last seen driving a tan 1981 Pontiac LeMans after dropping her husband at work; when she did not return to pick him up that afternoon he reported her missing. Her car was found the next day stuck in the mud in a remote pasture near the Polk-Osceola county line, about 25 miles from her home.

At the time she was reportedly experiencing memory loss and disorientation, possibly from undiagnosed Alzheimer’s disease, and had left behind important medications. In March a hunter found her purse with identification and an umbrella on an island in a swampy area near Lake Hatchineha, roughly two miles from where the car was located; searches later recovered her eyeglasses but no other trace of her.

Extensive searches using helicopters, dogs, and teams failed to locate her, and the case remains unsolved. If anyone saw Eubah, her tan Pontiac LeMans, or was in the Lake Hatchineha area in February–March 1984, can you share what you know?
