Janice Kay Baze, 36, was last seen on July 20, 1974, in El Paso after leaving home with her husband following a heated argument. Her husband returned that day but Janice never did, and she wasn’t reported missing until November 1974. Descriptions at the time listed her as 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches, 280 to 320 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. She may have been wearing a white dress or a short-sleeved navy blue dress, white canvas sneakers and her wedding band.

Local investigators were unable to develop significant leads and the case remains unsolved. The husband has since died; Janice was never located. The case was administratively cleared in 1994 but remains cold and unresolved. If anyone knew Janice, saw her around July 1974, or has information about what happened, please contact the El Paso Police Department.
