Debra Cole was last seen at her family’s home in Lebanon, Indiana on August 29, 1981 at about 11:00 a.m. She was reportedly with her mother’s live-in boyfriend, Omer R. Steve Beebout. Debra disappeared during the day and never contacted family; she left all of her personal belongings inside the house. Her mother reported her missing on August 31, 1981 and the case was originally treated as a runaway.

After the October 1983 disappearance and homicide of Debra’s sister Frances Annette Cole, investigators reclassified Debra’s case as a non-family abduction with foul play suspected. Beebout was considered a suspect in Frances’s homicide and later became the prime suspect in Debra’s disappearance. Beebout died of a heart attack in April 1989 at age forty-nine. Semen and other fluid from Frances’s remains were matched to Beebout’s DNA in early 1999, and investigators say that evidence links him to Frances’s death; Debra’s case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Lebanon around 1981 know where Debra worked, socialized, or went during the daytime who could still have information?
