Patricia Roberta Gatchell, 38, was last seen on July 8, 1996, in Sacramento, California after being released from the Sacramento County Jail that day. She vanished after her release and no one has heard from her since. The circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear and the case is open.

Patricia is described as a Caucasian female with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and roughly 175 pounds. Distinguishing features include a bent left pinky finger from a childhood injury, pierced ears, eyeglasses, and a large port-wine stain birthmark on her buttock. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and seeks anyone with information.

Does anyone in the Sacramento area remember Patricia or have information about her movements after July 8, 1996?
