Patricia Jane Dixon, known as Trish, Patty, or Pat, disappeared from Tennessee in the summer of 1999. Her last confirmed sighting was July 29, 1999, when she was released from jail near East Lamar Alexander Parkway in Maryville. She spoke by phone with her son on August 11, 1999, promising to attend his birthday on August 12 and saying she would hitchhike if necessary, but she never arrived and no further contact was made.

At the time she vanished Dixon, 33, had recently lost her job and was living a transient lifestyle, sometimes staying in hotels. She was between five feet five and five feet seven inches tall, weighed 95 to 100 pounds, had brown hair and hazel eyes, a scar on her lower abdomen, a butterfly tattoo on her left outer ankle, and a unicorn tattoo on her left hip. Investigators with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office have continued the missing person inquiry; authorities have noted she may have been involved with drugs around the time she vanished and that she could still be in the Knoxville area, but no confirmed whereabouts have been established.

Did anyone in Maryville or the Knoxville area see Patricia after August 11, 1999, or know where she might have been staying in that period?
