Nancy Leah Brannon was 34 and living in Shrewsbury, Missouri, when she disappeared after a night out in late November 1986. She worked in an administrative role at the former St. Louis Eye Hospital and was taking business classes. She was last seen near Grand and Delor in St. Louis around midnight on November 26, 1986, wearing a tan jacket over a sweatshirt, blue jeans, and a gold chain necklace that may have had a heart or a cross pendant.

The next day her tan 1983 Dodge Charger was found locked and abandoned at her apartment complex on the 7500 block of Watson Road. About ten feet from the car a neighbor found Nancy’s purse under a bush; it contained her checkbook, credit cards, $27 in cash and her car keys. A new package of birth control pills she had just filled that day was also recovered. Her father entered her apartment and saw the bed had not been slept in, suggesting she did not make it from her car to her front door.

Police investigated leads including rumors about an affair and possible pregnancy. A coworker who was mentioned was interviewed and had an alibi confirmed by his wife. The case remains the only cold case in Shrewsbury, contained in three investigation binders passed to new detectives over the years. Does anyone who knew Nancy or who was in the Grand and Delor area that night have information that could help explain what happened?
