Denise Marie Elson was 28 when she and her husband vanished in the autumn of 1981. The couple’s last known location was in Curry County, Oregon, and both were reported missing from Coos Bay. Denise is described as having blonde, possibly strawberry-hued hair, and blue eyes.

Sometime after they were last seen their car was found abandoned, but the discovery produced no clear leads and the investigation quickly stalled. No further evidence or witnesses have been reported, and the couple’s fate remains unknown.

Did anyone in Curry County remember seeing their car or the couple that fall?
