On the morning of Easter Sunday, April 19, 1987, 23-year-old Vickie Arleen Sundgaard disappeared from Alexandria, Minnesota. A mother of two young sons, she was last seen in the early hours at a party on Cedar Street. The next day her car was found a few blocks away with her purse and her asthma inhaler inside — items her family says she would not have left behind given recent breathing problems.

In the week before she vanished Vickie told her sister she planned to leave a marriage she described as tumultuous and violent and that she did not trust her husband with the children; he was investigated but later cleared as a suspect. Investigators also questioned Michael Dale Benson, who had been at the party and is a convicted rapist; he has denied involvement and was never charged in Vickie’s disappearance.

Vickie’s family has never believed she would willingly abandon her sons, aged five and three, and many view the circumstances as consistent with foul play. Does anyone who was in Alexandria that Easter weekend or who knew Vickie or the people at that party have information that could help resolve what happened?
