Cora Mae Andersen, 51, disappeared from a remote stretch of the Glenn Highway in Alaska after she was last seen leaving the Eureka Lodge at Mile 128 on July 16, 1979. The disappearance was reported to Alaska State Troopers five days later. The only significant lead came on July 25, 1979, when her abandoned vehicle was found at Moose Creek Campground, Mile 58 of the Glenn Highway, about 70 miles from the lodge. There was no sign of Cora in or around the car.

Descriptions at the time note she had red hair and hazel eyes and was likely wearing a black turtleneck sweater, black nylon pants, and either a dark blue coat or a purple parka. She reportedly carried a black leather purse that contained an automatic pistol, and wore distinctive jewelry including a gold watch with jade and a gold-plated copper nugget necklace with a diamond; she may also have been wearing a white wig. The Alaska State Troopers have kept the case open but there have been no further leads.

Anyone who remembers seeing Cora, her car, or unusual activity along the Glenn Highway in mid-July 1979 is asked to come forward with information.
