On August 21, 1977, 22-year-old Shari Roth disappeared after hiking alone on the Sawyer Brook Trail in Bartlett, New Hampshire. Her car was left in the trailhead parking lot and a search was launched; her body was found on August 24, a short distance from the trail. An autopsy determined she had been strangled.

Investigators followed many leads, including numerous public tips and a reported sighting of a red Volkswagen Beetle with New Hampshire plates near the trail the afternoon she vanished. In the mid-1980s authorities examined a possible connection to Christopher Wilder, but no conclusive evidence tied him to the crime. Decades later the case remains unsolved and open with the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit.

Did anyone see Shari on the Sawyer Brook Trail that afternoon or recall the red Volkswagen Beetle near the trailhead?
