Left: Jaster, circa 1979;
Right: Age-progression to an unknown age
Vital Statistics at Time of DisappearanceMissing Since: May 5, 1979 from Davison, Michigan
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date Of Birth: January 9, 1954
Age: 25 years old
Height and Weight: 5'4, 115 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Dark brown hair, hazel eyes. Jaster has a slender to medium build. She used the aliases Paula Johnson, Paula Breck, Paulette Breck and/or Paula Sweet prior to her 1979 disappearance. Jaster has a scar on the crown of her head. There is a gray mark on her left cheekbone below her eye from embedded pencil lead.
Clothing/Jewelry Description: Jeans, a ring with a turquoise stone, a silver ring with a stone of unknown color, and blue jeans.
Medical Conditions: Jaster was diagnosed with schizophrenia several years before she disappeared in May 1979. She may be in need of medical attention.
Details of DisappearanceJaster disappeared from Davison, Michigan on May 5, 1979. She carrying an army-style duffel bag, and was last seen walking towards Interstate 69. It has been established that Jaster was employed at two eateries in Mesa, Arizona in early 1980: WAG's Restaurant and Paul Perry's Smorgee Table. There has been no trace of Jaster since that time.
Michigan is listed as the state of record for Jaster's disappearance, as that was the region from which she was initially reported missing in 1979. It is possible that she may have traveled to Florida after her employment in Arizona in 1980. Both Michigan and Arizona authorities are handling Jaster's investigation.
Jaster is described as artistic and creative. She enjoyed animals, unique jewelry and natural items prior to her disappearance. She became mentally ill after graduating high school, developed paranoid delusions, and spent only one semester at Central Michigan University before dropping out. She was committed to a mental hospital after being arrested in 1977 and diagnosed with schizophrenia, but she left the hospital after two months. Jaster's condition worsened after she left the hospital and she began using marijuana and other drugs.
Authorities believe Jaster was a transient for an extended period of time, possibly decades, after her disappearance. She may have tried to contact her younger sister in 1989; Jaster's sister got a phone call at work from an unidentified woman who hung up before she could speak to her. None of Jaster's aliases or her Social Security number have been used since 1980, and her parents believe she may be deceased. Her case remains unsolved.
