Laurel Lee Claytor, 64, was last seen the morning of December 19, 2019, at her residence in Tacoma, Washington. She left behind all her personal belongings, including identification and a cell phone, which family and investigators say was uncharacteristic. Laurel was White/Caucasian, 5 feet 4 inches, about 170 pounds, with hazel eyes and shoulder-length brown hair partly gray. She did not own a vehicle or a cell phone and typically used public buses.

Family reported Laurel had severe mental health conditions and might not have responded to her name. She had been reported missing three times before and was previously found safe in places such as nearby woods, a Walmart in Spanaway, and Gig Harbor; she was known to frequent Spanaway Lake Park. Search and Rescue teams were deployed after the December 2019 disappearance, a countywide bulletin was issued, and hospitals and jails were checked, but no trace was found. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office continues to list the case as open.

Does anyone who knew Laurel or saw her around Spanaway Lake Park in December 2019 have information that could help?
