Tammy Lynn Farrell, 32, of Gridley, California, was last seen October 27, 1993, after dropping her two sons, ages twelve and fifteen, in Live Oak. That evening she visited a friend and said she planned to return to Live Oak to pick up the boys, but she never arrived and was reported missing by her mother on October 28. Family and investigators noted it was uncharacteristic for her to leave without warning or to abandon her children.

On October 31, 1993, Farrell’s dark blue 1988 Ford Escort was found abandoned off Lower French Creek Road in a remote part of Oroville. The car had been pushed over a ravine and came to rest in dense brush near Benny Creek. There were no skid marks, the steering wheel was bent forward as if a driver had been inside, the rear window was missing and the windshield was cracked. Vandals had stripped the vehicle before police located it, and no trace of Farrell was recovered at the scene.

Tammy was described as a white female, brown hair and eyes, 5 feet 0 inches tall, 230 pounds, with an ankle tattoo reading Ed and a daisy tattoo on a shoulder. Her disappearance remains unsolved. Does anyone who knew Tammy or who was in the Oroville or Live Oak area in late October 1993 have information that could help?
