Terry Lynn Gayton, also known as Terry Sovey, was 25 and a single mother from Pontiac when she disappeared from Millington, Michigan. She was last seen on September 22, 1984, after traveling to the village that summer with a man named William Bibby. Terry was described as blonde with hazel eyes and a tattoo on her left shoulder.

Bibby told investigators they argued in a remote, swampy area behind a farmhouse, that Terry then met someone she knew and stayed with them, and that he lost his car keys and left on foot. Searches of the swampy area, including with dogs, turned up no trace. Bibby was later arrested and jailed for local thefts; he was paroled and then disappeared himself between September and November 1993 and is now listed as missing with a parole-violation warrant outstanding. He has not been officially named a suspect in Terry’s disappearance.

The investigation was limited by scarce evidence and witnesses who were reluctant to cooperate. Does anyone with memories of Millington in 1984 or knowledge of Terry or William Bibby have information that could help clarify what happened?
