Debra Herms Childers, 40, was last seen on March 22, 1995, in Bessemer City, North Carolina. She left home saying she was going on a date in Clover, South Carolina, driving a dark blue 1985 Chevrolet Caprice. She was wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. Described as a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, she has a scar on her abdomen and pierced ears. At the time she worked at Threads USA and was living with her former in-laws.

Concern grew when she did not return and was reported missing on March 29, 1995; her former in-laws said they delayed reporting because she sometimes was out of touch for a few days. Two of her paychecks were left behind. On April 9, 1995, the Caprice was found abandoned in a wooded area off State Route 97 in Chester County, South Carolina; the license plate was missing and no obvious signs of foul play were reported at the scene. Her ex-husband was considered a person of interest and later died without charges. In April 2018 investigators searched a property in Waterloo, South Carolina, with cadaver dogs and ground-penetrating radar after tips that her body might be buried behind a home that had belonged to her; the search focused on a concrete slab but did not resolve the case.

If anyone knew Debra, her movements on or after March 22, 1995, or saw that Caprice in Chester County, please share what is known with investigators.
