Sandra Grimes, 41, disappeared from her Charlotte, North Carolina home after leaving in the afternoon to go to a store on October 22, 1986. Her son reported her missing that day when she never returned. Her remains were recovered two weeks later, on November 6, 1986, in a wooded area near the 1500 block of Merriman Avenue.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has kept the case open but investigators have been unable to identify suspects or develop public leads. A reward is being offered for information that could advance the investigation. Grimes’ family continues to wait for answers as law enforcement seeks tips that might explain what happened.

If anyone has information about Sandra’s movements on October 22, 1986, or saw anything near Merriman Avenue that November, please come forward.
