Gladys Thelma Williams was 19 when she was last seen in Seattle on February 20, 1970. She dropped her children off at her sister’s home that day; that visit is the last confirmed sighting. After that she never was seen or heard from again.

At the time she was described as a Black female, 5 feet 7 inches, about 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinctive features included pierced ears and a bump on one hand where a sixth finger had been removed. The case was not reported to the Seattle Police Department until October 13, 2004, and the missing person file lists her as Endangered Missing. Few details are available about what she was wearing, her state of mind, or any plans she may have had the day she disappeared.

The disappearance remains cold and unresolved. Did anyone in Seattle in 1970 remember seeing Gladys or her car after February 20?
