Susan Diane Wolff-Cappel was 19 and a mother when she vanished from Newcomerstown, Ohio, after her shift at Thompson’s IGA on the evening of March 16, 1982. A coworker saw her speak briefly with the driver of an older blue car, then get into the passenger side; the vehicle drove away and Susan has not been seen since. She had left behind paychecks, identification and other personal belongings and was wearing her work clothes and carrying a navy blue nylon windbreaker.

Susan had recently moved back in with her parents amid a pending divorce and custody fight for her 18‑month‑old son, Damin. Friends and family said she was in good spirits and planning to spend the next day with her child. The case was reopened in 2006 and foul play is suspected; a reported 1983 Greyhound bus driver sighting of a woman resembling Susan was never confirmed, and a county grand jury file was later misplaced.

Anyone who remembers that night in Newcomerstown or who has information about the older blue car and its driver is asked to come forward.
