Rosemary Rutledge, a 64-year-old Black woman from Inglewood, California, was reported missing after her sister, who corresponded with her by letter, stopped receiving replies.

As of May 2025 Rosemary remains listed as missing in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, case MP143214. She is now 67, described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, 157 pounds, with black eyes and blond or strawberry-colored hair. There have been no significant public updates on her whereabouts and the family continues to seek answers.
