Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP159665) and 1 other source
In the spring of 1981, a young woman's life took a turn that left her family with decades of unanswered questions. On April 17, 1981, 24-year-old Annie Deloris Huckaby was last seen in Los Angeles, California. A Black / African American female with brown hair and brown eyes, Annie was described as being 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing approximately 125 pounds. The day she vanished, she had been at her parents' home. At some point, she left the residence, and tragically, was never seen or heard from again.

The circumstances surrounding Annie's disappearance are shrouded in uncertainty, with very little information publicly available to piece together the events of that day. What is known is simply that she walked away from her family's home and never returned. It wasn't until over a year later, on August 27, 1982, that a formal report of her disappearance was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department's Adult Missing Persons Unit. The reasons for this delay in reporting are not publicly documented, adding another layer of complexity to an already heart-wrenching situation.

For over four decades, the case of Annie Deloris Huckaby has remained open, a quiet and lingering mystery. With no documented leads or public updates on the investigation, her family and community have been left to wonder what happened to the young woman who also went by the nickname Annie Deloris Branham. The lack of information has made finding closure an incredibly difficult, if not impossible, task. The official investigation remains with the Los Angeles Police Department, holding the hope that one day, new information will surface and finally provide answers as to where Annie went and what fate she met after leaving her parents' home all those years ago.

Last Seen: Apr 17, 1981
