Joan Audrey Davis, 47, and her husband Peter, 54, were last seen in Los Angeles on March 17, 1982. The couple lived in Granada Hills; Joan was described as a Caucasian female, blonde hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 6 inches and about 145 pounds, and may have used the last name Currie. Peter was described as a Caucasian male, gray or partly gray hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 5 inches and about 136 pounds.

Investigators identified Harvey Rader, a former Reseda car dealer, as a possible suspect and say a business-related dispute may have been the motive for the presumed murders. Rader’s cousin Ashley Paulle implicated Rader, alleging Rader shot Peter, that both Davises were buried in the desert near Bakersfield, and that Paulle assisted in the burial and saw Joan’s body. Despite those claims, the Davises’ remains have never been found. Rader was tried repeatedly over a nearby family disappearance but was never formally charged in the Davises’ case.

The couple’s disappearance remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about Joan or Peter’s last known movements, their Granada Hills home, or the name Currie as Joan’s possible surname?
