Patsy Arlene Gaisior, 31, was abducted from a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania parking lot on December 3, 1980. Employed as a service representative for the Bell telephone company and reared in Atkinson Mills, Patsy was forced at gunpoint by two men, Robert Andre Ruff and Frank Johnson, into a car and driven to several banks so her captors could force withdrawals from her account. The men then drove about 120 miles to Washington, D.C., checked into the Diplomat Motel on New York Avenue, and sexually assaulted her before taking her to Anacostia Park.

According to the case account, Patsy was shot by Robert Ruff by the Anacostia River and her body was thrown into the water. Both Ruff and Johnson were arrested; Johnson later testified against Ruff and both were convicted for their roles. Patsy’s body has never been recovered, and her family does not have a final resting place.

Did anyone in the Harrisburg or D.C. areas remember seeing Patsy, the Diplomat Motel, or a car matching the suspects’ description around December 3, 1980?
