Sandra Nadine Landrum, known as Sandra or Cassandra, was 18 when she left her family home in Union City, Georgia, for a short walk to a payphone at the Dairy Queen a half-block away and never returned. She disappeared in the early evening of an autumn day in 1975; at the time she was barefoot, wearing blue jeans and two red shirts (one long-sleeved, one short), about 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches tall, around 100 pounds, with blonde hair, hazel eyes, a small scar on her forehead and a tattoo on her left arm. Her family’s attempts to report her missing were complicated at first because authorities treated the case as a possible runaway, but the family never believed she would leave without contact.

Shortly after her disappearance the family began receiving anonymous, harassing phone calls. One caller claimed Sandra had been murdered and gave graphic details, including that her remains were dismembered and left near a Tastee-Freez in Fairburn; searches turned up nothing and the caller was never identified. The case eventually went cold, though Sandra’s sisters and other family members continued looking for answers.

Does anyone who remembers Union City or Fairburn in 1975 recall seeing Sandra that evening or have information that could help her family?
