Rebecca Jane Powell, known as Becky, was 41 when she disappeared from Pensacola, Florida after a night out in late April 1984. She was described as white, about 5 feet 4 inches and 130–140 pounds, with black hair, green eyes, and freckles. On her last known evening she socialized with her sister, visited the Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key Road and Richey’s Bar and Package Store on Navy Boulevard. At Richey’s she was introduced to a man and left with him to go to a party; she was never heard from again.

Police later identified that man as Ronald Harvey Fleming, linked to the Skull Munchers motorcycle gang. Investigators say physical evidence consistent with violence was found in the months after her disappearance, including blood matching Powell’s type at a residence connected to key witnesses. In later interviews, Claude Wilkins told police Powell had been killed at his home and withheld the information out of fear.

Court records indicate Fleming was arrested and charged, and that a conviction was later entered for Powell’s murder despite the absence of her remains. Her family has not been able to recover her body or bring her home. Did anyone who knew Becky or who spent time at the bars on Perdido Key Road and Navy Boulevard in April 1984 see or hear anything that might fill the remaining gaps?
