Siblings declared debra dead 09/28/2017 after the death of the youngest brother in 2016.

 

[Lavender Moon]

I pray this is the year that Debra will be found and that we all will know what happened.

 

[Lavender Moon]

...and still this child has not been found. This disappearance did not have to happen. No one protected Debra that night, no one had her back.
The theatre personnel kicked her out alone into the night and none of her friends thought to accompany her.

Debra has been gone for as long as many sleuthers here have been alive. So many girls and women vanished in California in the 70s. I'm sure Debra' s case is connected to some of them.

Debra, circa 1971; Age-progression to age 52 (circa 2010)


Debra Theresa Pscholka – The Charley Project

"Foul play is suspected in Debra's disappearance. She had no history of running away from home, and there has been no indication of her whereabouts since she let the theater. Her case remains open and unsolved."

Poor pretty girl..

 

[Lavender Moon]

Yes, it's so sad. I was growing up in the same time period as Debra. None of my friends would have let me walk to the park alone in the evening. We all looked out for one another.

 

[Bit of hope]

A good summery about Debra's missing case, from January 2020, also some theories about her disappearance. > means snipped.

The Disappearance of Debra Pscholka

Debra Pscholka was born on November 7, 1958 in San Diego County, California to her parents Shannon Jean Hampton Pscholka and George Dale Pscholka. Growing up, she was surrounded with love by way of her siblings: a younger sister and three older brothers.

Debra is described as having been a fun-loving child who did activities children her age would typically do, including bouncing on the bed, playing softball and often sliding down the stairs of her home. She’s also said to have had an infectious laugh.

At the time of her disappearance, she was a seventh grader at Corona Junior High School in Corona, California, where she received good grades.
>
As Debra didn’t have a history of running away or using illicit drugs, investigators with the Corona Police Department were forced to work primarily on speculation. The general rumour circulating the city was that Debra had been abducted by an unknown person, but there has never been any evidence uncovered to support this or any other theories in the case.

For weeks following her disappearance, Debra’s father, uncle and cousin combed the city for clues and interviewed the friends she was last with. However, they came up empty.
>
The grave of a young girl who was murdered in the 1970s was exhumed by coroner’s investigators in Las Vegas, Nevada, under the belief she might be Debra. Forensic testing proved otherwise. This is not the first time Debra has been thought to be a Jane Doe, as she was at one time believed to be Annie Doe, who was later identified as 16-year-old Anne Marie “Annie” Lehman of Aberdeen, Washington.
>
As of 2020, Debra’s case remains open. This is due to California law and the California Department of Justice policy that requires police to keep cases alive by annually verifying and updating both state and federal databases. Investigators have used biological material donated by her siblings to create a DNA profile for her, which has since been uploaded into a nationwide police database. Her dental records are also available for comparison.

In 2017, Debra’s siblings had her legally declared dead. Here is her grave memorial

>
Debra’s parents never spoke much about her disappearance, but relatives say they never got over their loss. In 1990, her mother passed way, and her father died 10 years later, in 2000.

Her younger sister, Beth Sevier-Guerin, thinks about Debra often. She says her parents and older brothers became overprotective of her after the disappearance, and her mother would sometimes call her by Debra’s name.

Currently, her case is classified as endangered missing. If alive, she would be 61 years old.
