Clarissa Carrie Culberson, 22, was dropped off at her Blanchester, Ohio home around 11:30 p.m. on August 28, 1996, after a volleyball game. A neighbor later saw her leave the house in her red 1989 Honda CRX, but by the next morning neither Carrie nor the car were at home. A search grew to more than 300 volunteers who found no trace of her or the vehicle.

Attention quickly focused on Carrie's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Vincent Doan, whose relationship with her had been volatile and abusive. Witnesses reported a heated argument at the Culberson house the night she vanished; neighbors heard threats and one saw Doan strike Carrie around 12:20 a.m. the morning she disappeared. Doan was later tried and convicted of aggravated murder and kidnapping; Carrie's body and her red Honda CRX have never been located.

The family filed a civil suit over investigative mistakes and has pushed for changes in how unidentified remains are tested. If anyone knew Carrie, saw her car, or has information about where she might be, please come forward.
