Alice Fay Jefferson vanished from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, in the mid-1970s, leaving two small children behind. Reports place her last known contact between 1974 and July 1975. She was about 21, an African-American woman roughly 5 feet to 5 feet 1 inch tall, 100 to 115 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, pierced ears, sometimes wearing wigs, and possibly a gold crown on a front tooth.

The children recall a day when no one picked them up from the on-post elementary school; after walking home and knocking for a long time, their stepfather, Lee Andrew Jefferson, answered visibly agitated. Alice’s car and all her clothing were left at the home. Lee would not let the children into the bedroom, had them sleep with him, and a few days later drove them to their maternal grandparents’ home in Arkansas and never returned. Family members say attempts to file a police report at the time did not produce a formal case.

An Army Criminal Investigation Command inquiry began in 2013 after the children hired a private investigator, but leads were exhausted and the case is not currently active. The children believe their stepfather was responsible; he denies involvement and says she left. Her Social Security number shows no activity since her disappearance. Does anyone have memories, records, or other information about Alice’s life at Fort Campbell that could help reopen this case?
