Lynn Ruth Connes, age 20, vanished on May 20, 1976, after leaving her Regent Street residence in Berkeley to meet a man who had answered her modeling ad. He identified himself as Jeff and arranged to meet at the Bateau Ivre Restaurant about four blocks from her home. Lynn arrived around 10:15 a.m.; the restaurant was closed, but a waitress let her wait inside. No one saw her leave and she was never seen again.

Lynn’s bicycle was found locked near the restaurant, indicating she reached the meeting place, but no other trace was uncovered. At the time she lived independently and worked part-time as a telephone solicitor in Marin County; those who knew her described her as reliable, and her disappearance was uncharacteristic. The identity of Jeff has never been confirmed and no substantial leads or suspects have been produced.

Anyone who knew Lynn, remembers the Bateau Ivre area that morning, or has information about a man called Jeff who answered modeling ads in 1976 is asked to come forward.
