Patrice Endres, 38, disappeared from her Tamber’s Trim-N-Tan salon in Cumming, Georgia on the morning of April 15, 2004. She dropped her son Pistol at school earlier that day and arrived at the salon; between about 11:37 a.m. and 11:50 a.m. she vanished. Clients who came for noon appointments found the salon unlocked and empty, Patrice’s car moved from its usual spot, her lunch uneaten and her keys and purse inside, but the cash register empty and no obvious signs of struggle.

Her skeletal remains were found on December 6, 2005 in a wooded area behind a Baptist church in Dawson County, roughly ten miles from where she was last seen. Investigators ruled the death a homicide, though a specific cause of death could not be determined. Her distinctive wedding ring, two bands soldered together with a marquis diamond, was missing and has never been recovered.

Several people were investigated over the years but no arrests have been made. Her husband, Rob Endres, was a person of interest to some because of reports of a troubled marriage and his actions after the disappearance, including changing the locks within 24 hours. Convicted killers Jeremy Jones and Gary Michael Hilton were also looked at; Jones confessed then recanted and his account did not match the evidence.

Did anyone know Patrice’s routines, clients, or the people who worked around that salon in April 2004?
