Public's help needed in locating woman missing from South Lake Tahoe motel

A woman visiting South Lake Tahoe has not been seen since Monday afternoon.

Sacramento resident Pamela Suwinsky, 62, left Motel 6 on foot between 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. She left behind her purse, cell phone, car and beloved dog. She did have her ID and credit cards with her.

At 10:00 p.m., the South Lake Tahoe Police Department (SLTPD) responded to the motel located at 2375 Lake Tahoe Blvd. after Pamela's ex-husband and long-time friend reported her missing.

Pamela is 5’ 2” tall, approximately 130 lbs, with blond hair and green eyes. She happened to fall in the motel's parking lot on Sunday, chipping her tooth and getting a cut on her lip. She was last seen wearing a dark jacket and pants.

The reporting party did not know why she left or where she would have walked off to. Anyone with information related to this case is requested to contact SLTPD detectives at (530) 542-6100.
