Lanell Janca Kahlbau, 72, was last seen June 7, 2004, in Lampasas, Texas, during a period of heavy local flooding. Her vehicle was later discovered submerged in a creek that feeds the Lampasas River and ultimately flows into Stillhouse Reservoir. That recovery raised immediate concern that she may have been swept away in the floodwaters, but searches have not located her.

The case is classified as a long-term missing person matter and remains unresolved. No recent developments are reported; authorities continue to seek information from the public. If anyone has knowledge of Lanell’s movements on or after June 7, 2004, or saw her vehicle in that area, please contact law enforcement with any details that might help bring closure.
