Details of Disappearance
Duncan was last seen in San Francisco, California on October 3, 1969, when she had an appointment with social services regarding foster care placement for her six-week-old son. She never made the next appointment and has never been heard from again.
Duncan had other children who were also in foster homes, and she visited them regularly, but the visits ceased abruptly in October 1969. Her occasional phone calls to her mother also stopped around this time. Her baby son was later declared abandoned and placed for adoption.
Duncan's family stated although she was unable to care for her children, she loved them and wouldn't have willingly deserted them. They think she was in fear of her life around the time of her disappearance, and that she may have been murdered. Her case remains unsolved.
