Heller Anne Calia Sample was 28 when she disappeared from her home on Peach Orchard Hill Road in Cleveland, Tennessee, in February 1983. At the time she was described as a white woman with brown hair, between 4 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 2 inches tall, and weighing about 100 to 110 pounds. She left behind a two-year-old daughter, an elderly mother and no father, and had been adopted as an only child from New York.

Very few details about her disappearance have been released. The Bradley County Sheriff’s Office has kept the case open, but the limited evidence and scarce public information have made the investigation difficult. Her family has lived with unanswered questions for decades.

If anyone knew Heller Sample, lived near Peach Orchard Hill Road in 1983, or has information that could help, please come forward to the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office.
