Elaine “Lonnie” Johnson, 41, went missing from Parma, Ohio, in 1990. Her daughter is still searching and reaching out to the public for answers to discover what happened to her mom.
The Sun News looked into the case and spoke with Elaine’s daughter, Jodi Johnson Malcolm, who told police she went to her mother’s home on December 3, 1990, to check on her after she hadn’t shown up to work for 48 hours. Her mother was missing, but the apartment was tidy, and her wallet, identification, and credit cards, were all left behind. Elaine’s car was in the parking lot. There was laundry in the laundry room, and a locker had been left open.
The only thing that seemed to be missing was the actual key to her apartment.
As authorities attempted to figure out what happened to Elaine, The Sun Times reveals the last person who may have allegedly seen her was her ex-boyfriend. In a 2011 report, he is identified as 56-year-old Brian Sachs. Although he was questioned at the time, the publication says at some point he stopped cooperating with authorities. Sachs has not been charged with any crime related to this case.
Elaine has light brown hair that was bleached blonde at the time she went missing. she has brown eyes and a small scar on the left corner of her mouth. Reports say she stands 5 feet 7 inches tall, and at the time she vanished, she weighed about 130 pounds. Today, Elaine would be 62.
In December of last year, Elaine’s daughter Jodi posted this message on Facebook:
