Patricia Lee Otto, 24, disappeared from Lewiston, Idaho, on September 2, 1976, after an argument with her husband, Ralph Otto. Known as Patty, she left home that night and never returned. She left behind personal belongings and her car; her wedding rings were later found in Ralph’s coat pocket.

Their marriage had been troubled. Patricia had filed for divorce but reconciled with Ralph shortly before she vanished. On the night she disappeared, one of their young daughters witnessed Ralph physically assaulting Patricia. Ralph became the prime suspect. Less than a year later he was arrested for attempting to hire a hitman to kill the lead investigator on Patricia’s case; he was convicted, the ruling was later overturned in 1981 on a technicality, and he later died while in custody on unrelated charges.

Patricia’s body has never been found and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone have memories or information about Patricia, her family, or that time in Lewiston that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
