Penelope ’Penny’ Madanat, 23, vanished after an evening out in Bossier City, Louisiana. Recently separated and living with her two young children, she had just started a new cosmetology job and planned to celebrate her first paycheck at the Cowboys nightclub on Airline Drive. When her daughter fell ill, Penelope’s sister stayed home and Penelope went to the club alone; witnesses at Cowboys saw her arguing with her estranged husband, Akhim ’Eddie’ Madanat.

Eddie told investigators he drove Penelope from the club in his black Honda Prelude, that their argument continued in the car, and that he let her out on Gould Drive at her insistence before driving home. A restaurant clerk later said a woman matching Penelope’s description came in to ask for change for the payphone while a dark-colored vehicle was parked outside; that is the last confirmed sighting. Penelope was 5 feet 7 inches, 128 pounds, auburn hair, blue eyes, with pierced ears, a birthmark on her upper left arm, and a small mole above the right side of her lip.

Authorities suspect foul play and have focused on Eddie; he reportedly failed two polygraph exams and later took the children and moved to Jordan, where lack of an extradition treaty has limited investigators’ ability to question him further. No charges have been filed. Does anyone have information about Penelope’s movements that night or recall seeing her on Gould Drive?
