Sara Yvonne Griffin, known to family as Von, was 39 when she disappeared from Fort Mill, South Carolina, in late autumn 1975. She had long, wavy brown hair, brown eyes, a scar near her left eye and a mole on the left side of her jaw. The last confirmed sighting was by her daughter, who watched Sara leave with a family acquaintance in a van while carrying a small green suitcase; Sara told her daughter she could not come along.

The man who drove the van was described as an acquaintance who had a reputation for being aggressive and for carrying weapons. Sara never returned to the family residence on what was then Rural Route 1, now called River View. Her husband, Joseph Banks Griffin, died in 1983 without learning what happened to her. The York County Sheriff’s Office has investigated but concrete leads have been scarce and the case has gone cold.

Does anyone who lived in Fort Mill in 1975 remember the green suitcase, that van, or the acquaintance who drove it?
