Judith Carole Himes was 22 and working as a medical technician when she disappeared from Coral Gables, Florida, on September 14, 1965. Recently divorced and newly pregnant, she told a friend she was going shopping for a watch and withdrew $300 — but planned to visit an illegal abortion provider. She never returned.

Three weeks later her rental car was found abandoned in a residential Atlanta neighborhood, about 650 miles from Coral Gables. The car had been parked at least three days and investigators reported blood in the backseat. Witnesses said a man in his thirties parked the car, removed a duffel bag from the trunk, and left; he was never identified. The operator of the clinic Himes intended to visit, a Hungarian immigrant posing as a physician, was arrested months later on perjury and impersonation charges and then skipped bail.

An anonymous letter received after a television broadcast claimed Himes died from an allergic reaction to anesthetic during the procedure and that her body was disposed of in Biscayne Bay; police considered the letter credible but the claim has not been confirmed. There were also unsubstantiated tips she might be living in Omaha. Does anyone have information about Himes, the unidentified man seen with the car, or leads about the alleged disposal in Biscayne Bay?
