Lisa Marie Sexton was 14 when she left her home in Elyria, Ohio, in the spring of 1981. She told family she was taking the dog for a walk but did not return. Investigators say she left willingly with an adult male known to be a drug dealer; he was seen with her at the time and later came back to Elyria alone. He was later imprisoned on unrelated charges and has since died; he never provided information about Lisa.

After leaving Ohio, Lisa was known to have been in the Tampa, Florida, area and may have traveled to Mexico. Her mother received a last phone call in 1984; some records list September 1, 1984, as the date of disappearance and list her as missing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She had a scar on her left cheek and braces on her bottom teeth, and may have used the name Kathleen Lisa Mounts. DNA and dental comparisons have been used on at least one lead without a match.

Does anyone have information about Lisa’s movements after 1984 or remember seeing her under the name Kathleen Lisa Mounts?
