Paula Godfrey, 19, disappeared from Overland Park, Kansas in late summer 1984 after telling her family she had been hired by a man named John Edward Robinson Sr. to work as a sales representative for his firm, Equi II, and was to travel to San Antonio, Texas for a clerical skills course. Robinson drove Paula to the Godfrey home on September 1, 1984, then drove her to the airport; that was the last time the family saw her.

Paula’s father went to San Antonio and found she had not checked into the hotel. Back home, Paula’s parents received a typewritten letter bearing Paula’s signature saying she was OK and did not want contact with family; they suspected the letter was a forgery. The missing-person investigation was closed at the time because Paula was an adult and no clear evidence of foul play had been found.

The case was reopened after Robinson’s June 2000 arrest in connection with other women’s disappearances and the discovery of multiple victims. Robinson later confessed to Paula’s death as part of an October 2003 plea agreement; her body has never been found. Did anyone who knew Paula or saw her in Overland Park or San Antonio in 1984 notice anything unusual before she vanished?
