Teresa Ann Butler, 26, was last seen in Memphis on the evening of November 10, 1986, leaving work at about 9:15 p.m. She reportedly wore a white lab coat. Teresa is described as 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 110 to 115 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, freckles, and a scar on her right cheek.

At some point after she left work, Teresa’s vehicle was found abandoned in a rural area outside the city with the engine running and the lights, windshield wipers, and radio still on. Records do not say who found the car, exactly where it was located, how long after she left work it was discovered, or whether any of her belongings were missing or disturbed. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office lists the case (agency case number 0804000803SH; NamUs MP30989) and a family-reference DNA sample was processed by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

The sequence ends with the running vehicle; no confirmed sightings or communications after about 9:15 p.m. have been reported. Did anyone who lived or worked near rural routes outside Memphis in November 1986 see Teresa’s car or notice anything unusual that night?
