Patricia Jean Schneider, 25, vanished after finishing a bar shift on July 31, 1982, in Pedley, California. At about 3:45 a.m. she called from a Circle K to report her car had broken down; a store clerk later reported seeing two men with sandy hair in the parking lot while she was on the phone. Their connection to Patricia’s disappearance is unknown.

Between 5 and 6 a.m. a Riverside County Sheriff’s deputy found Patricia’s brown and white 1974 Toyota Celica on fire near Van Buren Boulevard and Doolittle Avenue. The fire was set deliberately, but Patricia was not at the scene and has not been heard from since. Foul play is strongly suspected and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.

If anyone knew Patricia, the two men seen at the Circle K, or was in that area the night of July 31, 1982, please share what you know.
