Janis Marie Stavros, 42, was last seen January 3, 2001, in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she lived in the Canyon Rim area with her boyfriend, Robert Butcher. The evening before her disappearance she, Butcher, and her daughter had dinner at the home of Janis’s ex-husband; the ex-husband and Janis reportedly remained on friendly terms. Butcher told investigators Janis was asleep when he left for work the morning she vanished, but later that day her daughter could not reach her.

Janis’s truck and personal belongings, including her cell phone and purse, were left at home. Investigators found bloodstains on several items in the house and vehicle, and cleaning products were found inside her truck. There has been no activity on her financial accounts and no sign she planned to leave. Butcher was briefly jailed on unrelated parole violations and has denied involvement; Janis had reportedly expressed concerns about the relationship before she disappeared. Her whereabouts remain unknown.

Did anyone who knew Janis or who lived in the Canyon Rim area in early 2001 see anything that could help explain what happened to her?
