Elaine Johnson, a 41-year-old mother of two, was last seen in Parma, Ohio, around Thanksgiving 1990 and reported missing on December 3, 1990, by her daughter after Elaine failed to show up for work at the Tri-C Unified Technology Center. Her daughter found the Kimberly Park Apartments unit neat and orderly but with lights on and Elaine’s eyeglasses left on a counter. Clothes in the shared laundry room were in a washer and dryer and appeared to have been there for some time.

All personal effects — purse, identification, and credit cards — remained in the apartment, and her car was parked at the building; only the house and car keys were missing. Elaine had been struggling with depression and alcoholism and had recently begun dating a man her daughter had not met. The last person known to have seen her was reportedly an ex-boyfriend who was questioned and later stopped cooperating; the man she had been dating is now deceased. DNA from family members and her dental records have been entered into national databases, but the circumstances of her disappearance remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Elaine, her movements that Thanksgiving, or had contact with the people she was involved with then, please share what might help the investigation.
