Coral Pearl Hall was 14 when she disappeared from Flint, Michigan, on September 22, 1998, a day after her birthday. She was about four feet eleven inches tall and 85 pounds, with blond hair, blue eyes, pierced ears, and a round mark at the base of her neck from a forceps delivery. Her last reported clothing was blue jeans, a gray-and-blue shirt, a green sweatshirt, and white tennis shoes.

That morning Coral and a friend went to a social-services office to report abuse in the home where she lived with her maternal grandmother, Lois Janish, in the 500 block of East Ninth Street. Later Coral used a pay telephone near the White Horse Tavern to call the same friend and asked for help leaving. By the time the friend arrived Coral was gone. Early on authorities treated the case as a possible runaway, but investigators later focused on the home and on Janish after inconsistent statements and allegations of abuse emerged.

No confirmed contact, records, or verified sightings have ever established Coral’s whereabouts after that night. Did anyone in the community have contact with Coral in 1998 or information about her last known movements?
