Missing Since: 1972-09-03 Location: None, California
Pope was last seen in Fresh Pond, California on September 3, 1972. She was camping with her husband and some friends at the Cripple Creek Campground. Pope and her husband got into an argument because she wanted to go to a rock concert in Carson City, Nevada and he couldn’t go. Pope left their camper angrily. A female friend went with her, but came back for her coat. When her friend left the trailer again, Pope had vanished. She apparently hitchhiked to the rock concert and then hitchhiked back with two people from Sacramento, where she lived. She decided to return to the campsite, although her companions wanted her to go to Sacramento with them. They last saw her talking to “motorcycle types.” Pope has never been heard from again. Few details are available in her case.
