Leann Faulk was 21 and living in Hyattsville, Maryland, when she was reported missing on November 16, 1985. She was last seen in her neighborhood; family and friends described her as having a routine and staying in regular contact, which made her sudden disappearance especially alarming.

Local police and the community conducted searches, distributed flyers, and investigators interviewed acquaintances, family and neighbors to reconstruct her last known movements. Weeks and months passed with few credible leads, and her family held vigils and public events to keep attention on the case. Anyone with information about Leann’s disappearance is asked to come forward.
