Jacqueline Simpson, 44, disappeared from Vandergrift, Pennsylvania after her shift as a barmaid at the Magic Lamp Bar and Grill on the night of February 28, 1982. She was last seen just after midnight at the bar with owner Gary Kunish, with whom she had been involved in an intermittent romantic relationship. Failing to return to her daughter’s apartment was described as entirely out of character for the devoted mother of seven.

A few days after Jacqueline went missing, her daughter, who also worked at the Magic Lamp, found spots of blood in the bar. Investigators focused on Kunish; prosecutors charged him with murder without a body about six weeks after Jacqueline vanished. In September 1982 a jury convicted Kunish of involuntary manslaughter; he was sentenced to three and a half years and later paroled. Kunish maintained his innocence and never disclosed Jacqueline’s whereabouts before his death in 1996. Extensive searches of lakes, woods, a cave, the bar’s basement and a landfill turned up nothing.

Who in Vandergrift or the surrounding area remembers Jacqueline, her movements that night, or any detail that might finally bring closure to her family?
