Patricia Patterson Leventhal -- Missing Since August 1991 From Florida
Tag: "Car Found Person Missing" is a popular tag for this site. It describes a missing person who either owned or was using a vehicle at the time of his/her disappearance. The vehicle is found but the person is not. Click the hashtag at the bottom of the link to see just how many times this pattern is present in missing person cases.
Note: I don't think the description below is adequate, however, I include it as a source as it is from NamUs.
"Leventhal was last seen by her husband at 23:30 on August 21, 1991, driving her 1991 blue 4 door Volvo, VIN number: YV2JA894OMA029773, Louisiana Tag 955X356. A possible direction of travel could be Louisiana where she possesses an RN License.
She grew up in Ruston, after attending A.E. Phillips School, Ruston High School, and Louisiana Tech University, she had married a successful doctor and moved to Naples, FL. with her two children from her previous marriage. The family was doing well and Patty, a registered nurse, had volunteered her time as a school nurse at her children's school.
Wednesday, August. 21, 1991, Patty returned to her home after church choir practice. She and her husband were relaxing in the Jacuzzi when she left to go get a cola. She never came back.
Collier County sheriff's deputies found her Blue 1991 Volvo in the parking lot of an apartment complex a short while after her disappearance. No fingerprints or clues of any kind were found.
All of Patty's credit cards were monitored for activity. There was none after her disappearance."

Height/weight: 5'0" to 5'6" and 115 pounds (upper height according to missing person poster)
- Note: the NamUs height of 5'0" is way off according to other sources. This individual was likely about 5'6" by my research. That is important if she is compared to a Jane Doe.
Patricia Patterson Leventhal has not been seen since August 21st, 1991 when she was 32 years old. This individual has now been missing for 30 years as of the original publication date of this blog post. The missing person did not have any articles or items associated with her missing person's reports, at least of the sources that I consulted.
What stands out to me, in this case, is that her car was found in the area of the Fountain View Apartments on North Airport-Pulling Road. This vehicle was seemingly dusted for fingerprints and none were found. That the vehicle may have been wiped clean for fingerprints is an issue to me. What exactly happened isn't clear, however, it seems to suggest that something of a clandestine nature took place. Furthermore, if she voluntarily disappeared then she did leave behind two children.
The NamUs description of the disappearance didn't mention that she disappeared after an argument.
The coverage of this missing person case was mild, however, it did make the newspapers. If you know where this person might be or have any information on this case, then please contact the authorities. In the USA, you can look for the NamUs profile. Conversely, you can post a remark to this article.

I am here looking for new information on Patty's case. I went to Junior High and High School with
ReplyDeletePatty. She was a good person, nurse and mother. I do not see her getting out of a hot tub to go to a store alone late at night. She was a smart girl.
Rest in peace, my friend.
Ive been following Patty's case for years and have always wondered why her family, children and friends never pursued finding her. No rewards, media exposure ect.
