June Carpenter Gilkerson, 24, of Midland, Texas, was last seen on November 8, 1986. She left home about 9:00 a.m., telling her husband she was going to her volunteer job at the Midland Restitution Center, a halfway house where she was gaining experience to become a probation officer. She never arrived at the center.

Two days later her car was located at a nearby Best Western motel with her purse, car keys, and sneakers inside; motel staff said the car had been parked there since the morning she disappeared. Investigators learned she had been romantically involved with a probationer at the halfway house, named David Alderink. Alderink later confessed that he and Kenneth Parker conspired to abduct women for trafficking, saying he arranged a meeting with June and handed her to Parker, who he claimed killed her and tried to burn her remains in a remote area. June’s body has never been recovered; Parker was convicted of kidnapping but has denied killing her.

Foul play is strongly suspected and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone in Midland remember June or have information about her movements on November 8, 1986?
