Janet Callies, 40, vanished after leaving the Sundowner bar in Grand Island, Nebraska, on the night of November 15, 1978. She had planned to pick up her eldest daughter for dinner at 8:30 p.m. but never arrived. Her red and beige 1975 Dodge Dart, Nebraska plate 8C4696, was also never found.

She was reported missing on November 21, 1978, and remains listed as an endangered missing person. In 1984 Henry Lee Lucas told Nebraska authorities that he and Ottis Toole had abducted and that Toole strangled Callies, claiming the body was buried north of Grand Island; searches turned up nothing and that account has been treated with skepticism. No charges were filed, and the case is still an unsolved missing-person investigation.

Callies left the Sundowner and vanished with no confirmed trace of her or the car. Does anyone who remembers Grand Island in 1978 have information about that night or the Dodge Dart?
