Patti was hiking on Sauk Mountain with her boyfriend Larry Pressley and his friends and family to spread the ashes of Larrys deceased parents. On the way back down the mountain they say Patti and her dog Bear went down a wrong trail. They say they called out to Patti to tell her she was on a wrong trail and she looked at them and kept walking. NO ONE in the group of 5 or 6 hikers, followed her or went after her, instead they let her go down the wrong trail and they went back to the trail head. Patti has never been seen since. Her dog was later found a few miles away several weeks later. (Information retrieved from NamUs.gov)
