Gail Ann Russell, 30, was last seen at her family’s trailer in Bayonet Point, Florida, on September 4, 1995. She went to bed around midnight with her live-in boyfriend, Larry Podolski. Podolski later said he heard a tapping at the window about 1:00 a.m.; Gail got up to check and then was not seen again. By morning she was gone and has never been found.

Podolski reported $245 in cash missing from the home that night and attempted to report Gail missing later that day, but investigators found inconsistencies in his account and no record of his initial call. Gail’s family described her as a loving mother who would not have abandoned her children, and they said her relationship with Podolski involved substance abuse and domestic violence; she had been considering leaving and taking the children shortly before she disappeared. Podolski was never charged and remained a suspect until his death from a drug overdose in 2008.

What did neighbors or anyone in Bayonet Point remember about that night, or did anyone see Gail after she left the trailer?
