On the night of April 4, 1991, 20-year-old Angela ’Angie’ Hammond, four months pregnant, vanished from a payphone in Clinton, Missouri. She was speaking on the phone with her fiancé, Rob Shafer, from a parking lot at the Food Barn Store around 11:15 p.m. During the call she told him a suspicious man in an older two-tone green Ford pickup with a mural of a fish jumping out of water on the back window was circling the block. Angie said the bearded man in overalls approached the phone booth; Rob then heard her scream and the line went dead.

Rob drove toward the payphone, passed a truck matching that description and heard Angie scream his name, but his car’s transmission failed while he attempted to pursue the vehicle and the truck disappeared. Police found Angie’s car in the parking lot but she was gone. Rob was initially a suspect but was later cleared after passing a polygraph and is treated as a witness.

Over the years investigators have explored several theories. One links Angie’s disappearance to two other Missouri women who went missing around the same time, Trudy Darby and Cheryl Ann Kenney.

Did anyone in Clinton in April 1991 see a two-tone green Ford pickup with a fish mural or notice anything unusual that night?
