Sandra Powell Missing Person Case

Sandra Kay Powell, a 16-year-old from South Bend, Indiana, was last seen on March 11, 1987. She disappeared just days before her 17th birthday and while four months pregnant. That evening, Sandra and a friend went out, possibly to a YMCA or a health spa, but became separated, and she was never seen again. According to her friend, Sandra had a phone conversation the night before with an unidentified person, though no further details were uncovered about that call.

Sandra's case is particularly concerning due to her involvement in a 1986 murder trial. She had testified after witnessing the killing of a friend and had been threatened in the aftermath. Authorities have considered whether her disappearance could be linked to her testimony, but no definitive connections have been made. Additionally, she was emotionally distraught before her disappearance, as the father of her unborn child had recently told her he was marrying someone else.

Initially classified as a runaway, Sandra's case was reclassified as endangered missing years later, due to the lack of personal items taken and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. Despite various tips over the years, including a potential sighting on *Soul Train*, Sandra remains missing, and her family continues to search for answers.

Her case remains unsolved, and authorities are still looking for any credible information that might lead to her whereabouts.
