Sondra Sandi Bennett was 41 when she vanished from Anchorage in the autumn of 1993. She was last seen at about 7:00 p.m. on November 4 in the Spenard area, leaving the Carousel Lounge and getting into her small light blue GMC pickup. The next morning the truck was found in the 7-Eleven parking lot at Arctic Boulevard and International Airport Road with the door slightly ajar and her eyeglasses inside, but no sign of Sondra.

A mother of three who had moved to Anchorage from California and worked as a waitress at the Keyboard Cafe, she was described as someone who kept in touch with family, so her silence was out of character. Reports say she was involved in the local drug scene and was dating a man described as a drug dealer from New York. It’s reported she was apparently en route to Wasilla that night carrying between $13,000 and $17,000 to buy drugs.

Authorities have classified her disappearance as a homicide and suspect the people she planned to meet for the transaction may have robbed and killed her. The investigation remains open. Did anyone know Sondra, her movements that night, or who she was meeting in Wasilla?
