Elizabeth Sykora was 21 when she vanished from Creedmoor, North Carolina. She was last seen July 2, 1983; family reported her missing on October 20, 1983. She is described as a white female, blonde hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 10 inches, 120–130 pounds, with a scar on her left forearm. She sometimes used the names Sue Clayton Stallings or Elizabeth Stallings.

In June 1983 her car had been shot at while she was not in it. On September 5 her pocketbook was found in bushes behind the Royal Villa Hotel in Raleigh; two days later her car was located in that hotel parking lot with a rear passenger window broken out. Investigators have long considered the circumstances suspicious. Her ex-husband, Scott Gerald Sykora, had another ex-wife, Helen Darlene Fuller, who also went missing in 1983, and investigators suspected foul play in both disappearances; no charges were ever filed in Elizabeth’s case.

Anyone who knew Elizabeth, saw her around July 2, 1983, or has information about the Royal Villa Hotel discoveries is asked to come forward.
