Lorraine Migl Light, 21, was last seen in Spring, Texas, in the early hours of November 23, 1989. She had spent the day shopping for Thanksgiving groceries she planned to use while hosting, went out with friends afterward, and was dropped off in her apartment parking lot at about 2:00 a.m. Light shared the apartment with her sister Cynthia Migl, who arrived home at 3:00 a.m. to find groceries scattered on the floor and a turkey thawing in the sink, but no sign of Lorraine.

An answering machine message purportedly from Lorraine said she had met someone and was going to Mexico for a few days; Cynthia did not believe the voice was her sister’s and noted the caller used the nickname Cindy, which Lorraine never used. Lorraine also had a three-year-old daughter, making a sudden departure on Thanksgiving highly uncharacteristic. Years later two witnesses reported hearing the father of Lorraine’s boyfriend allegedly boast in a nightclub that no one would ever find her; Cynthia passed that tip to police.

Foul play is suspected. The police report and most of the missing persons file have since been lost, and no arrests have been made. Did anyone know Lorraine’s movements that night or recognize the voice on the answering machine?
