3 ore 45 min, 31 lugl 1982 anni - Patricia Jean Schneider DISAPPEARANCE

Descrizione:

Early in the morning on Sunday, July 31, 1982, Patricia Schneider, 25, who also went by the nickname Patti, completed her shift as a cocktail waitress at an Indian Hills, CA restaurant and nightclub. At 3:45am, after getting off of work, Patricia made a call from the Circle K market on Limonite in Pedley, Riverside County, CA, reporting her car had broken down. Her car was a brown & white 1974 Toyota Celica with the CA license plate 018POF. Patricia has never been seen or heard from again.

A clerk at the Circle K stated that he saw two white males with sandy hair in the parking lot while Patricia made calls from the phone. It's unclear if these individuals had anything to do with her disappearance.

Between 5am and 6am that same morning, a Riverside County sheriff found Patricia's car on fire in a field near the intersection of Van Buren Blvd and Doolittle Ave. It was determined that the vehicle was burning due to arson. The area was searched, and no traces of Patti were found.

Foul play is suspected in Patricia's disappearance, which is considered an abduction. Patti is classified as Endangered Missing on the Charley Project and Doe Network.

Patricia is a white female with blue eyes. At the time she was 25 years old, 5'4, and 115 lbs. She has straight blonde hair that was shoulder-length at the time. When she was abducted she was wearing a cocktail waitress uniform. Patti's date of birth is January 18, 1957. If alive today she would be 68 years old. Patricia may use the last name Underhill.

Patricia's DNA is available for comparison, while her dentals and fingerprints are not. She has seven UID exclusions on NamUs, none of which are featured on this timeline.

Patricia's NamUs case was created on February 16, 2009 and last updated on January 23, 2021. Her Doe Network page was added on March 1, 2009 and last updated on May 18, 2022, while her Charley Project profile was last updated on September 4, 2016.

Anyone with information regarding Patti's case should contact the Riverside Police Department; the agency case number is P08184599. What phone number should be called varies across sources: (951) 354-2007 (according to NamUs), (951) 826-5700 (according to Charley Project), (951) 353-7100 (according to Doe Network), or (951) 826-5531 (according to CA DOJ).

I have included Patti's disappearance among my "Bad Samaritan cases" series, which consists of unsolved cases in CA in which a woman disappears or comes to harm after her vehicle becomes inoperable. However, it should be noted that she is not listed among the original/most "official" victims.

I found out about Patricia's disappearance in a Zodiac forum, as it is similar to the semi-canonical Zodiac case of Kathleen Johns, whose car was also found intentionally set on fire.

There are some people online who believe that Patti's case could possibly be connected to the crimes of Joseph James Deangelo, aka EARONS/Golden State Killer; however, in my opinion this case is vastly different from his usual MO.
