Theresa Elizabeth Bishop was 20 when she disappeared from Abilene, Texas, after an evening at Diamond Jim’s nightclub on October 2, 1981. She was last seen speaking with several unidentified men at the venue and was wearing blue jeans, a beige striped blouse, and carrying a large dark brown purse. She was in the middle of moving at the time, which added complexity to the investigation.

Her disappearance has been treated as suspicious and is listed as endangered missing; foul play is strongly suspected. Notorious serial killer Henry Lee Lucas was once considered a potential suspect, but after multiple interviews he denied involvement and investigators found no conclusive link. The Abilene Police Department continues to investigate and asks anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone has memories of Diamond Jim’s that night, knew Theresa, or saw her after October 2, 1981, please share what you know.
