Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Lynn Pandos vanished from her parents’ home in the Kingsmill neighborhood of Williamsburg, Virginia, sometime during the night of February 9–10, 1987. Her parents found her door locked and, after forcing it open, discovered her room empty. The handwriting did not clearly match Jennifer’s; investigators considered whether a left-handed writer could have tried to disguise script but later believed someone else wrote the note.

Jennifer was a sophomore at Lafayette High School. She is described as left-handed, with brown hair, hazel eyes and a small mole on her left shoulder. She was last seen wearing a pink sweater and jacket, blue jeans and white high-top sneakers. Her parents waited for a promised call and reported her missing three days later. The initial investigation found no evidence of a crime and leaned toward the possibility she left voluntarily; no charges have ever been filed.

Over the decades the case has been re-examined and various people have been investigated. Jennifer’s brother Stephen, who was away at college at the time, has publicly suggested suspicion toward their parents and has described their father as having violent outbursts; the parents have denied any involvement. The disappearance remains unsolved. Did anyone in Kingsmill or Lafayette High at the time see Jennifer in the days before February 10, 1987, or know where she might have gone?
