Gayla Christine Schaper, 28, was last seen on June 29, 1979, in Moscow, Idaho. Her husband dropped her at a pasture near their dairy farm on Lenville Road to feed the horses, planned to be gone about 45 minutes, and returned to find her missing. He searched the property and nearby areas before reporting her missing at midnight. Some of Gayla’s clothing was later found in a nearby meadow, but she was never located.

In the months before she vanished the couple had received strange anonymous phone calls and a threatening note reading You have sold out to Satan. Two months after the disappearance Gayla’s mother got calls in which a woman asked for help and hung up. Investigators briefly suspected Gayla’s husband; he later took a polygraph years afterward and was cleared. Another local man, Larry Hagedorn, was investigated but no evidence tied him to the case. Authorities say foul play was likely, but no solid evidence has determined her fate.

Does anyone who lived near Lenville Road in 1979 or knew Gayla have information that could help explain what happened that afternoon?
