Karan Ann Brown was 26 when she disappeared from the Olympia and Tacoma areas of Washington in the early days of 1980. The exact date of her disappearance is uncertain. She was described as a white female with black hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 125 to 140 pounds.

Karan’s life before she vanished was described as transient. She may have been homeless and was known to hitchhike, reportedly traveling routes that connected Washington with states including California, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. A blue and silver Pontiac Firebird is the last vehicle associated with her. The Olympia Police Department has an open investigation into her disappearance.

Few concrete leads are available and many details remain uncertain. If anyone knew Karan, saw her in the Olympia or Tacoma area in 1980, or remembers the Pontiac Firebird, please come forward with information.
