Linda Lee Lovell, 25, was last seen in June 1974 in Stinson Beach, California while on a hitchhiking trip with 18-year-old Stephen Locke Packard of Hopewell, New Jersey. The pair set out in early June planning to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, visit Lovell’s family in Missoula and attend the Spokane World’s Fair. The last confirmed contact came June 10 when Packard called his family from Stinson Beach; postcards were also sent. On June 20 a traveler’s check in Packard’s name was cashed in Westport, California, about four hours north — the final known sign of either person.

Lovell is white, 5 feet 4 inches, 110 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes, faint circular scars on her right stomach and lower back, and wore glasses or contact lenses. The Santa Maria Police Department is investigating; the disappearances remain unsolved. Did anyone in northern California or along the coast see them in June 1974?
