Rochelle Rocky Ihm, 20, vanished after a weekend visit to Phoenix in July 1986. A former family gardener, Robert Yama, paid for her plane ticket and picked her up from the airport; the two spent the weekend socializing and Rochelle attended a party on the evening of July 12. She was last seen the morning of July 13 and was expected to start a new job as a paralegal the next day but never arrived.

At the time she disappeared Rochelle was described as 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches, 98 to 108 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes, pierced ears and a round brown birthmark on her leg. She reportedly wore a white shirt over a pink bikini and an oval sapphire ring surrounded by eight small diamonds. Yama said he dropped her at a Greyhound station near 6th Street and Washington Street, but investigators determined she never boarded the bus. Yama was uncooperative, became a person of interest, and died in 2005; he was never charged. Foul play is suspected and Rochelle has not been seen or heard from since.

If anyone knew Rochelle, the people she stayed with in Phoenix, or saw her on July 13, what can be shared to help bring answers?
