On the evening of March 24, 1993, 45-year-old nursing assistant Laura E. Mason was dropped off at the El Capitan Lounge in the 18th & Vine district of Kansas City, Missouri, where witnesses saw her that night. She was last seen leaving the club in a vehicle driven by the club owner, who was also her former brother-in-law and the last known person to see her. He later told police he dropped her at 18th Street and Highland Avenue near the Mutual Musicians' Foundation; she was never seen or heard from again.

Investigators focused on the man she left with after his statements about that night were found to be inconsistent. In 1995 he was convicted of murdering his girlfriend and given a life sentence; he has maintained his innocence in Laura’s disappearance. A 2015 search of a property linked to him produced no new evidence. Foul play is suspected and the Kansas City Police Department lists the case as active. Laura, a mother of four who never returned to collect her final paycheck, is memorialized by the Laura E. Mason Foundation, which supports outreach and educational programs for underserved youth.

Did anyone in the 18th & Vine area remember seeing Laura the night of March 24, 1993, or know more about her movements after she left the El Capitan Lounge?
