Details of Disappearance

Matheson was last seen in front of her residence at Heatherwalk Condominiums in Miami, Florida at 11:00 p.m. on October 1, 1985. She has never been heard from again.

After her disappearance, her coffee cup and a spoon were found in the kitchen sink of her apartment, which was double-locked and in a neat and clean condition. Matheson's puppy was left behind at her apartment; her family doesn't think she would have left it alone.

Her tan 1977 Honda with the Florida license plate number GBB800 disappeared with her and was found abandoned in the parking lot of an apartment complex at southwest 104th Street and 79th Avenue on December 4. This is a few miles from Matheson's home.

By the time the car was discovered, it had been in that particular parking space for about a week, and residents of the complex said they'd seen it parked in various places in the lot for the past month.

Matheson worked as a baker at Perrine Elementary School at the time of her disappearance; she was considered a reliable employee who was never tardy. She had moved to Miami from Ohio fifteen years before she went missing, after her husband died, because she wanted to be closer to her relatives. Her case remains unsolved.
