Laurie Depies, 20, was last seen the night of August 19, 1992, after leaving her job at the Fox River Mall in Appleton. She drove to her boyfriend’s apartment complex on West Wilson Avenue and was heard arriving around 10:15 p.m., but never went into the apartment. Her locked gray Volkswagen Rabbit was found in the parking lot with a Styrofoam cup of soda on the hood; Laurie’s purse and an overnight bag remained inside the car.

Searches turned up no sign of a struggle and no witnesses to an abduction. Investigators have said foul play is strongly suspected and that Laurie may have been taken by someone she knew. An unidentified thumbprint was lifted from the cup but produced no breakthroughs. In 2010, convicted serial killer Larry DeWayne Hall confessed to her kidnapping and murder; however, Laurie’s body has not been found and no physical evidence or charges have linked Hall to the case.

The disappearance remains unsolved and Laurie’s family continues to seek answers. If anyone knew Laurie, saw her that night, or has information about the Volkswagen Rabbit or the unidentified thumbprint, please come forward.
