Connie Lyn Royse, 24, disappeared from Mt. Clemens, Michigan on a June evening in 1990 after leaving the Hayloft Bar around 11 p.m. She had been on a date with a man she had recently met, accompanied by his roommate. Surveillance footage shows her leaving alone, barefoot and carrying her shoes, appearing unsteady; she left her purse behind. Her date was in the restroom when she told the roommate she had to get out of there and walked out.

Her car was later found parked at her date’s apartment, where she had left it before they went to the bar. There was a possible sighting at a payphone across the street that night near a late 1970s model car, but it is unknown whether she made a call or entered the vehicle. A reported sighting days later was ruled not to be her. The two men from that night, an ex-husband and a former boyfriend were all questioned and cleared; detectives have re-interviewed people over the years but no definitive lead has emerged.

The central unanswered question remains why Connie abruptly left the bar that night and what happened after she walked out.
