Annette Michelle Craver Vail, born December 7, 1965, vanished in 1984 at about 18 years old. She had married Felix Vail after meeting him as a teenager; he was nearly thirty years her senior and the last person known to have seen her alive.

In the months before she disappeared Annette inherited roughly $100,000 from her father’s life insurance, withdrew the money in cash, and transferred ownership of a house she once co-owned with her mother to Vail. Her mother, Mary Rose, became increasingly concerned after Annette spoke of wanting to leave Vail and go to college. Vail later said Annette boarded a bus to Mexico, a claim that was never verified.

Felix Vail has been identified as a suspect in Annette’s disappearance and in other cases involving young women; his conviction in 2016 for the 1962 death of Mary Horton was supported in part by patterns alleged by prosecutors that included Annette’s case. Annette’s fate remains unresolved and her mother continues to press for answers. Did anyone in Tulsa in 1984 see Annette, her bus ticket, or the vehicle she may have been with?
