Hazel Alice Klug, who went by Alice, was 23 and living in the Crestview area of Richmond when she vanished in the spring of 1986. On the night of May 20 she finished an hour-long telephone call with a co-worker she was dating at about 11:30 p.m.; the call was described as normal. She failed to show up for work the next day, May 21, which prompted police to check her home on the 6800 block of Horsepen Road.

Investigators found Hazel’s car at the house and her beloved dog still there, and most personal items—clothing, makeup and jewelry—were undisturbed. Two items were missing: her purse and a large suitcase or military-style trunk. There were no signs of forced entry or a struggle. Foul play is suspected, and a suspect named Robert A. Elms was at one point identified in her disappearance and probable murder. The case remains unsolved and the investigation is open.

If anyone knew Hazel, lived near Horsepen Road in 1986, or has memories or information about her last days, please come forward.
