Evelyn Louise Piper, 54, of Phenix City, Alabama, disappeared in late autumn 1994 after a last in-person sighting on November 28, 1994, in Columbus, Georgia. Her final known contact was a phone call to her daughter on the morning of November 30, when Evelyn said she was leaving for Jerusalem, Israel, to get married and would return in a week; her daughter did not know of any relationship and was asked to collect Evelyn’s mail.

About seven days after that call, Evelyn’s blue 1991 Mitsubishi hatchback with Alabama plates was found abandoned in the long-term parking lot of the Columbus municipal airport. Investigators reported no signs of a struggle, no evidence she had purchased a plane ticket or boarded a flight, and the parking lot ticket for the vehicle was missing. Evelyn was described as a white female with red hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches, 135–150 pounds, with pierced ears, scars from a hysterectomy and a fractured ankle, and known to carry a black leather hobo-style purse with colorful patchwork.

No definitive answers have emerged and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Evelyn, saw her car at the Columbus airport that November, or has information about the telephone call she made on November 30, please come forward.
