Denise Pflum was an 18-year-old senior from Connersville, Indiana, last seen on March 28, 1986. She left home that afternoon to retrieve a purse she’d left at a party the night before and drove a cream-colored 1981 Buick Regal. Denise was expected back shortly but never returned; her car was later found abandoned along Tower Road, about three miles from her intended destination.

Described at the time as a responsible, active student who planned to attend Miami University in Ohio, Denise’s disappearance prompted extensive searches involving law enforcement, volunteers, and tracking dogs, but no significant clues turned up and she has never been found.

Anyone who knew Denise, was in Connersville on March 28, 1986, or remembers seeing a cream-colored 1981 Buick Regal near Tower Road that day is asked to come forward with information.
