Pepper Reed was 23 when her family last saw her in Houston between December 12 and December 18, 1975. During that visit she introduced her mother and brother to a new boyfriend, Terry Rasmussen, and told them she was pregnant with his child. The family’s last contact with her was in December 1975.

After the Christmas holiday Reed and Rasmussen reportedly moved to Anaheim, California. Investigators later identified Terry Rasmussen as a suspected serial killer and his daughter Rea was one of the victims in the Bear Brook Murders. Authorities suspect Pepper Reed may also have been a victim; the Anaheim Police Department is listed as the investigating agency.

What can anyone who knew Pepper, her movements in Southern California, or her contacts after June 15, 1976, add to the timeline?
