Patricia Elizabeth Flynn, 38, disappeared from her family home in Yarrow, British Columbia, on March 24, 1982. Neighbors reported she dropped into a catatonic state, then suddenly emerged from it, leaped through a window and ran into the nearby Vedder Mountain woods wearing a light-colored nightgown and slippers. Search efforts by Chilliwack Search and Rescue, aircraft and police dogs lasted two days but turned up no trace.

There were unconfirmed sightings that afternoon in the Vedder Road/Wells Road area and in Sardis; one person later identified her from photographs. No DNA was collected from Patricia or her parents in 1982, and both parents died within two years of her disappearance. Investigators note the family had relatives back east but their location is unknown. The Chilliwack RCMP has appealed for any relatives to provide a DNA sample to help match Patricia to unidentified remains or records.

If anyone is related to Patricia or remembers her or those relatives, can you contact the investigation with any information or a DNA lead?
