Naomi Wilson, 32, was last seen April 12, 1981, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She planned to get gasoline and visit a coworker that afternoon. Naomi’s boyfriend of three years, Colbert Billy Beets, said they left separately around 4:00 p.m. and that he saw her driving in the opposite direction about an hour later. Naomi never reached her friend’s house and was not seen again.

Two days later Naomi’s white 1978 Ford Fairmont was found abandoned in a Kmart parking lot on 16th Avenue Southwest; there were no signs of Naomi and searches of the car turned up no useful evidence. Investigators found no clear proof of foul play, though suspicions have persisted. Beets later moved into Naomi’s home after her disappearance but was never publicly named as a suspect. Naomi, originally from Birmingham, Alabama, had moved to Cedar Rapids after marriage and divorce, owned her home, and was described as responsible and level-headed, which made her disappearance particularly puzzling.

Does anyone who lived in Cedar Rapids in 1981 remember seeing Naomi, her Fairmont, or anything unusual around 16th Avenue Southwest in April 1981?
