Annette Michelle Vail was 18 when she vanished from the Tulsa, Oklahoma area in October 1984; her disappearance was officially noted on October 22, 1984. She is described as a white female, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 115 to 120 pounds, with light brown shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and a small scar near the hairline on the side of her forehead. Annette’s mother reported her missing after several weeks without contact; the family last saw her on October 5, 1984, in Sulphur, Louisiana.

Annette’s husband, Felix Vail, gave multiple and conflicting accounts about her whereabouts — telling neighbors she went to Denver and telling police she took a bus from St. Louis to Mexico, including naming a St. Louis bus station that did not exist. Shortly after the missing-person report he filed for divorce and gave away her belongings. Authorities suspect foul play, though Felix was never charged in Annette’s disappearance; he was later convicted in 2016 of the 1962 drowning death of his first wife, Mary Horton Vail. Annette has never been found.

If anyone knew Annette, saw her after October 5, 1984, or has information that could help locate her, please come forward.
