Annita Maria Price was 27 and a mother of two when she vanished after leaving her 4th Street apartment in Moundsville, West Virginia, on the evening of May 30, 1974. She drove her boyfriend’s green AMC Gremlin to go to work at the Flamingo Club in Benwood but never arrived. The next morning the Gremlin was found abandoned along Route 2 in McMechen, just north of Moundsville, with Annita’s purse, wallet, and makeup scattered on the front seat and no obvious signs of a struggle.

Her disappearance was not reported for three days. At the time she was in the middle of a contentious divorce and a custody fight for her children, a circumstance that raised concern about foul play though investigators found no direct evidence linking her ex-husband to the disappearance. Tips have come in over the years, including a 2009 lead alleging she had been shot and buried under a power line, but searches have produced no conclusive evidence and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who lived in the Moundsville–Benwood area in 1974 remember seeing Annita, her green AMC Gremlin, or anything unusual on Route 2 that night?
