Vali Davis, 23, disappeared after a night out at Lucifer’s Restaurant, a nightclub in the 3500 block of East 86th Street in Indianapolis. On the early morning of June 24, 1979, she was last seen walking toward her copper-colored 1976 Ford Pinto in the club’s parking lot; some reports say a friend saw her about 2:00 a.m., while others say no one witnessed her leaving. The Pinto was found in the lot with the driver’s side door unlocked and no signs of a struggle.

At the time she vanished Vali was described as 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches, about 110 pounds, with short red hair and green eyes. She wore a black square-neck Quiana dress with straps and lacy sides and carried a matching black purse. She may also have used the last name Morrison. The disappearance was treated as a suspected abduction and has since been classified as a homicide, but investigators never developed significant leads. Her family hired a private investigator, placed newspaper ads offering a reward, and pursued other avenues without resolution.

Does anyone have memories of Lucifer’s Restaurant that night or information about Vali’s Pinto or the people she was with?
