Details of Disappearance

Pamela was last seen in Sacramento, California at some point in 1972 when she was fifteen years old. No one has heard from her since that time and very little information is available about her disappearance. It’s unclear if anyone reported Masten missing back when she first went missing.

On April 22nd 2023, a Missing/Murdered Indigenous Persons event was held in Humboldt County, California. Two of Pamela’s relatives were in attendance and although neither of them personally knew her, they still wanted to learn what became of her. Pamela’s disappearance remains unsolved.
