Alma Violet Root, 14 years old has been mentioned in at least three other threads in these Cold Case Files as a possible match to different Jane Doe Victims. It was pointed out to me that she does not have her own thread, so I am starting one for her.
-----------------------------------
Alma Violet Root
Missing since January 1, 1980 from Auburn, Placer County, California
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Date Of Birth: February 8, 1965
Age at Time of Disappearance: 14 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'4; 130 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Brown hair; brown eyes. She goes by the name Violet.
Marks, Scars, Tattoos: Tattoo of a small blue heart over her right breast.
Dentals: Available
Circumstances of Disappearance
Root had been staying with her 25-year-old boyfriend, Scott Petchek in Penryn. The boyfriend told police she asked him to drive her to her aunt's house in Rio Linda, CA on New Year's Day, 1980 when she disappeared. The boyfriend said he then went to work at McClellan Air Force Base, and when he returned to Rio Linda to pick Root up, she wasn't there. He later told police he didn't think it was strange because Root often ran away and hitchhiked. Root's family was mystified by his explanation because Root didn't have an aunt living in Rio Linda. No one has heard from Root since.
An investigation into Root's disappearance had been dormant for more than 10 years when Root's natural father entered the sheriff's station and demanded to know what was being done to find his missing daughter. No new leads have been developed in the case.
