Seventeen-year-old Yvonne Regler disappeared during a shift at a Sunoco gas station on Lorain Road in Fairview Park, Ohio, in the summer of 1977. She had been transferred that morning from her usual job in North Olmsted to cover for vacationing employees, was dropped off by coworkers, and worked alone. She spoke with friends and family by phone through midday and accepted a lunch from a coworker around noon. Two local teenagers saw her shortly after. The last known contact was a call with a friend between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m., during which she mentioned a car that left and then returned; a credit card receipt she initialed is time-stamped 1:25 p.m.

Alarm wasn’t raised until later that afternoon. Between 1:30 and 2:05 p.m. at least two customers and a coffee-machine repair person arrived to find the station unattended; none called police. Her relief arrived about 2:45 p.m. and discovered the station empty. Yvonne’s purse, cigarettes, book, partially eaten lunch and about $300 in the register were left behind; there were no signs of a struggle or robbery. Investigators discounted runaway theory and came to believe she was likely abducted from the forecourt while assisting a customer.

If anyone was at that Sunoco on Lorain Road that afternoon or remembers a car coming and going, can you share what you recall?
