Laura Lee Alber, 37, was last seen in Lansing, Michigan, on February 8, 1990. Her last known association was with West Lapeer Street, but no precise address, witness, or activity that day is recorded. She was described as White, about five feet five to five feet six inches tall, 150–180 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.

Laura lived with paranoid schizophrenia and may have been homeless at the time. She used several names — Laura Trbovich, Laura Kiril, Laura Rearick and Charity — which could complicate searches of older records. Distinguishing marks included a large mole in the center of her back, a small scar on her right cheekbone and a scar on her upper arm from a polio vaccination. Photographs are part of her missing-person file.

There are no confirmed sightings that established she was safe after February 8, 1990, and no known record of her reestablishing contact with family or obtaining stable housing under another name. Does anyone have memories of seeing Laura or recognizing her alternate names around Lansing in early 1990?
