Carolyn Ruth Banks was 33 when she was forcibly taken from an apartment complex in Dalton, Georgia, on July 2, 1987. Multiple witnesses saw a man drag her, put her into his pickup truck and drive away; that is the last confirmed sighting of her. She was described as between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches, about 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans and brown sandals.

Hours after the abduction the man returned to the complex alone with blood and scratches on him and told a witness Carolyn had jumped out of his truck and walked away. He reported her missing two days later, on July 4, 1987. Despite those eyewitness accounts and the suspicious condition of the man who came back, Carolyn has not been seen or heard from since and the case remains open.

Did anyone in Dalton in July 1987 see Carolyn Ruth Banks after she was taken, or have information about the man who drove off with her?
