Stefanie Kelly Stroh was 21 and nearing the end of a two-year dream trip when she disappeared on October 15, 1987. After nine months in Asia she was hitchhiking from New York toward California and called her parents from the Four Way Cafe and Truck Stop in Wells, Nevada, leaving a message that she had a ride and to leave a key under the mat. Later that day a Motel 6 desk clerk in Winnemucca, Nevada, saw her trying to get a room; there was no vacancy and she never arrived in Reno.

She was last seen wearing a black shirt, black tank top, black corduroy pants and brown leather ankle-high shoes, carrying a pink purse and an orange sleeping bag. She had pierced ears and a brown birthmark on the instep of her right foot. Foul play is suspected; the FBI searched mine shafts in 1998 after a man briefly confessed and recanted, and convicted killer Tommy Lynn Sells later confessed to killing her but was never charged in connection with the disappearance. The case remains open and unsolved.

Did anyone in the area remember seeing Stefanie or her belongings on or after October 15, 1987?
