Patsy Arlene Gaisior, known as Pat, was 31 and working as a telephone company service representative when she was abducted at gunpoint from a Harrisburg parking lot on December 3, 1980. Two men, Robert Andre Ruff and Frank Johnson, forced her into a vehicle, made her withdraw money at a bank, then took her to Washington, D.C., where they checked into the Diplomat Hotel on New York Avenue. In the motel room she was sexually assaulted, and later taken to Anacostia Park, where Robert Ruff shot her by the river.

Her body was disposed of in the water and has never been recovered. Prosecutors secured kidnapping convictions against both men in 1982; Johnson later pleaded guilty to murder and testified against Ruff, whose conviction for Gaisior’s murder became the first no-body murder conviction in Washington, D.C. The whereabouts of her remains remain unknown.

Did anyone in Harrisburg or Washington remember Pat or see anything the day she disappeared?
