Nadine Jean O'Dell was 16 when she disappeared from Inkster, Michigan, on August 16, 1974. She was last seen walking along John Daly Road toward Michigan Avenue at about 9:30 a.m. on her way to babysit at her boyfriend’s house in Taylor. The boyfriend arrived but Nadine never showed up and has not been seen or heard from since.

She is described as 5 feet 1 inch tall, about 105 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. At the time she was wearing faded blue jeans, a white T-shirt and her boyfriend’s class ring on a neck chain. The case is classified as an endangered missing person and produced no immediate leads for years.

In 2018 investigators began looking at convicted murderer Arthur Ream as a possible suspect and searched near a site where Ream had buried another victim, but no remains were found. Nadine’s disappearance remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Nadine, remembers her route that morning, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
