Sandra Lee Davis, 38, vanished from the family trailer in Chugiak, Alaska, after signing divorce papers on the afternoon of August 30, 1974. That evening she left after dinner wearing a blue denim Levi’s jacket, white blouse, blue jeans, stockings and blue sneakers, and she had no money or identification when she walked away. She had overlapping front teeth and scars on both legs.

A note found later expressed sorrow about the end of the marriage and asked her husband to care for their daughters and see they attended church; it did not explicitly say she intended to die. Dogs reportedly tracked her scent from the trailer to a nearby payphone, though that trail may have been from earlier walks. The area, including a lake, was searched and her husband was questioned and polygraphed; he was cleared after the test. No body or definitive evidence has been found and the case remains unresolved.

Did anyone in Chugiak in 1974 see Sandra that night or know where she might have gone?
