Edwards was last seen leaving her station editor job at TV Guide in downtown Seattle, Washington on January 2, 1981. She was probably en route to her apartment in the 500 block of north 167th Street. She may have actually arrived there; her coat and car keys were later found at her home. She has never been heard from again. Edwards wasn't leading a high-risk lifestyle in 1981, and she was a dependable employee and involved in a steady relationship. She normally took the bus to and from work. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance, but few details are available.
