Lori Sibrel was 15 when she vanished from Franklin, Tennessee, in the autumn of 1978. On November 5 she was working as a cashier at the C.Y. Market at 2181 Hillsboro Road in the Grassland community and lived on Boxwood Drive in the River Rest subdivision. Coworkers say she took a phone call at work, complained of not feeling well, and left her shift early between about 3:00 and 4:00 PM though she had been scheduled until 6:00 PM.

The last confirmed sighting placed her walking north on Hillsboro Road, the direction toward her home. She was described wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans, brown shoes, and carrying a brown purse; she was a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office lists her as an endangered missing person and has kept the case open.

The phone call at work and her early departure are the most notable facts in a file with otherwise few leads. Anyone who remembers Lori, that stretch of Hillsboro Road on November 5, 1978, or who has information about that phone call is asked to contact the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.
