Linda Rachel Pleva was 31 when she vanished from Eugene, Oregon, in the spring of 1981. Reports place her last known sighting sometime between April and June of that year. She was described as a white woman with brown, curly hair and most records list her eyes as blue, though some accounts give them as brown. Her height is reported between five feet six and five feet nine inches with a slender build; scars on her abdomen from a hysterectomy and a Cesarean section were noted. She sometimes used the alias Racheal Richardson.

The circumstances are described as suspicious but very little is publicly known about her movements, who last saw her, or the day she disappeared. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office has handled the investigation, which has remained open for decades and is now cold. If anyone knew Linda, knew her as Racheal Richardson, or has information about her whereabouts in 1981, please share what you remember.
