Rebecca Margaret Patterson, 38, was last seen on August 6, 1997, in Los Gatos, California. She did not have a permanent address at the time, which complicated efforts to trace her movements. Described as a white female, Rebecca was 5 feet 2 inches and about 90 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; her California driver’s license listed her eye color as green, and it was noted she may have worn colored contact lenses.

On the day she vanished she was wearing blue jeans; beyond that there is little information about her clothing or possessions. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office has handled the investigation, but no definitive clues or major leads have emerged and her fate remains unknown. The case is still listed in missing person databases and investigators continue to seek information.

If anyone knew Rebecca, saw her in Los Gatos around August 6, 1997, or has information that could help, please come forward.
