Deloris Melton, 38 and known to family as Shorty, was last seen in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, on April 15, 1994. She was at High Tides bar that evening and never returned home. At the time she disappeared she was wearing a dark-colored jean jacket, a black Harley tank top, jean shorts and white Reebok tennis shoes, and she wore a ring engraved with her nickname Shorty.

Deloris was a mother with a steady job, a home, and bank accounts that showed no activity after her disappearance; her family says she had no reason to leave. She is described as a Caucasian female with blond/strawberry hair, blue eyes, 4 feet 11 inches tall and about 120 pounds, with scars from prior breast reduction surgery. The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office opened the case as an endangered missing person and continues to investigate.

Does anyone have memories of High Tides on April 15, 1994, or information about Deloris’s movements that night?
