Left: Pandos, circa 1987; Right: Age-progressed to age 39 (circa 2011)
Missing since February 10, 1987 from Williamsburg, James City County, Virginia.
Classification: Endangered Runaway
Jennifer Pandos was last seen in the Kingsmill area of Williamsburg, Virginia on February 10, 1987. Jennifer apparently left in the middle of the night through a sliding glass door on the patio.
In a note to her parents, she said she would be back in a few days and not to worry.
Pandos left her Kingsmill home, perhaps distraught over a recent breakup with her boyfriend. She never came back. All she took was her handbag.
"Your daughter's with me. She's fine. She's having some problems and needs some time away".
Then, the note switched to the first person: "I'm fine, I just need time to think. Both of you please go to work tomorrow cause I will try to call you. I won't call you at home, only at one of y'all's work.
"Do not call the police. I can easily find out if you do. I may never come back home. Don't tell my friends about this. Just tell them that I'm sick."
