Susan Elaine Miller, 24, was last seen in Melbourne, Florida, on March 31, 1980, and is classified as an endangered missing person. Also known by her maiden name Susan Elaine Hallowell, she was 5 feet 3 inches and 128 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. On March 30, 1980, she reported a violent assault to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, alleging her boyfriend had bound her with an electrical cord, physically assaulted her, stabbed her in the legs with a metal object, and attempted to smother her. A deputy advised her to contact the state attorney’s office, but she did not pursue charges and shortly afterward moved from the campground in the Ocala National Forest to her mother’s home in Melbourne.

On the day she vanished she was seen leaving her mother’s residence wearing a multicolored crocheted poncho, blue jeans, and a brown hat. Investigators searched the Ocala National Forest campsite in 1983 and examined a possible link to an unidentified body found in Citrus County in 1981. The investigation has been complicated by the later criminal activities of her then-boyfriend, John William Billy Ferry Jr. Her whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Susan, knew where she lived or traveled in 1980, or has information about her disappearance, please come forward.
