Mary Leah Rodermund, a 16-year-old Morgan City High School sophomore, disappeared on the evening of March 2, 1978. She was last seen about 8 p.m. after driving to the K&B Drug Store on Victor II Boulevard; her car was later found abandoned in the pharmacy parking lot.

Investigators identified Robert Carl Hohenberger as a prime suspect. Hohenberger, living under an alias in Louisiana, was a former sheriff’s deputy and a convicted kidnapper and rapist who had escaped from a California prison. Authorities tied him to a series of abductions in the Morgan City area over a three-month period and suspected he may have killed as many as seven people. In June 1978 police in Tacoma, Washington, attempted to arrest Hohenberger and he died by suicide. There was no trial; Mary’s body has never been found, and her case remains unresolved.

Did anyone in Morgan City in 1978 have information about Mary’s activities that evening or about vehicles and people near Victor II Boulevard?
