Sheila Ann Bryant was 18 when she disappeared from Kannapolis on February 26, 1997 after leaving home to walk to a nearby payphone. Her body was found on March 2, 1997 at a former gravel pit in Concord, North Carolina. She was discovered partially clothed, and investigators treated the death as a homicide.

Local law enforcement in Cabarrus County investigated the case but it remains unsolved. The Sheriff’s Office is still asking the public for tips that might produce new leads in this cold case.

Anyone with information about Sheila’s movements between February 26 and March 2, 1997, or who remembers seeing her near the payphone or the gravel pit, is asked to contact the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office.
