Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP57882) and 6 other sources
Roszan Jean Payne, age 37, was last seen on May 15, 1994, leaving her home in Royse City, Texas. She was driving a pea-green 1989 Volvo, which has never been recovered. Initially, her family believed she had left for just a few days, but when she failed to return or make contact, they reported her missing. During their own searches, family members heard reports that she had been seen at a bar in West Tawakoni and at a friend's house in Hawk Cove, but these leads did not yield significant information.

A complication in the investigation occurred when it was discovered that there was no active missing persons report on file for Roszan, prompting her family to file a second report. Roszan had been making payments on the Volvo she was driving, but she stopped shortly before her disappearance. Notably, the car was never registered in her name, as the payments were still incomplete when she vanished.

The case has been marred by a lack of concrete leads or discoveries over the years. Her family and investigators continue to seek answers, but as of now, both Roszan and her vehicle remain missing, and little new information has surfaced.
