Yolanda Jean Maull, 30, disappeared on the morning of May 26, 1982, in Birmingham, Alabama. She was scheduled to attend a court hearing that day concerning her divorce and is believed to have spoken with her attorney at about 9:00 a.m., which may have been the last confirmed contact. She never appeared in court and did not communicate with family afterward.

Yolanda was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, and graduated from Knoxville College in 1975 before moving to Birmingham after her marriage. At the time she vanished she was described as a Black female, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with brown eyes and shoulder-length straight brown hair, pierced ears and birthmarks on her right arm. Reports differ on her clothing that morning: one account says a red short-sleeved shirt and white skirt; her daughter recalled a red blouse and beige pants. Her car was later found abandoned near a Captain D’s on the 1100 block of 3rd Avenue West.

The case is listed as endangered missing and remains open with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office. Did anyone in Knoxville or Birmingham remember seeing Yolanda or her car around May 26, 1982?
