Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2914) and 6 other sources
Viola Marie Findley, a 28-year-old mother of three, was last seen on September 6, 1983, in Bunnell, Florida. She had traveled from Waterloo, Iowa, with a friend to visit family in Florida. After her visit, it is believed she intended to return to Iowa, but she never made it home. Viola's children were left in Iowa with a sitter during her trip, adding urgency to the concern surrounding her disappearance.

Details about her last known movements remain unclear, but it is known that she was last seen in Bunnell after spending time with her family. After several days of no contact, her family reported her missing, and it became apparent that she had not returned to Iowa. Investigations into her case have yielded little information, and it remains unsolved nearly 40 years later.

In the years since her disappearance, efforts have been made to revive interest in her case, including public appeals for information. Authorities and family members continue to seek any leads that may provide answers about what happened to Viola Findley.
