Elizabeth Kenyon, 23, a special education teacher and former Orange Bowl Princess and Miss Florida finalist, was last seen on March 5, 1984, leaving Coral Gables High School where she worked. Witnesses say she spoke with a school security guard in the parking lot before driving off in her Chrysler convertible; that vehicle was later recovered abandoned at Miami International Airport even though she had not booked flights or made travel plans.

Friends and family raised the alarm when she did not return home or show up for work the next day, which they described as out of character. Witnesses later reported seeing her on March 8 at a gas station talking with a man in a Cadillac Eldorado. Christopher Wilder, who had dated Kenyon and reportedly proposed to her, was linked to her disappearance and several witnesses placed him with her shortly before she vanished. Wilder later carried out a cross-country crime spree and died during a confrontation with police in 1984, but Kenyon’s body was never found and the case remains unsolved.
