Erna Martin was 45 when she was last seen on February 12, 1988, leaving her Granite Bay, California, home on foot about 11:00 a.m. She wore a large light blue ski jacket, blue/green jeans, white sneakers and glasses, and was described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, 115 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She left without extra clothing.

Family and investigators note Erna struggled with alcoholism and that there may have been marital problems; her husband reported her missing and expressed concern she might have been in an alcoholic coma somewhere. There has been no activity on her Social Security number since the day she disappeared, and an extensive search turned up no trace. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and says the case has produced few leads.

Did anyone in Granite Bay or the surrounding area see Erna on February 12, 1988, or have information about where she might have gone that day?
