Beth Ann Ricketts, 31, was reported missing from Des Moines, Iowa, after leaving her home about 9:30 a.m. on December 22, 1997, reportedly to go Christmas shopping in her gold 1994 Geo Prizm. That afternoon a fire damaged her residence; investigators have not established whether the blaze was related to her disappearance. She was a military veteran who had recently moved from Oklahoma City to Des Moines and was a mother of three.

Two days after she vanished, a woman claiming to be Beth called her boyfriend and said she was fine and did not want to be found, but the call’s authenticity is disputed and Beth was never heard from again. The boyfriend declined to cooperate with investigators and retained an attorney; he has been described as a person of interest. Authorities classify the case as an involuntary disappearance and suspect foul play, but no conclusive evidence has been developed.

If anyone knew Beth, her movements that day, or saw her gold 1994 Geo Prizm around December 22, 1997, please share what you remember.
