Claranett Cooley, 32, was last seen the morning of May 14, 1993, at her apartment in Lake Wales, Florida. Her live-in boyfriend said they argued the night before but reconciled; he left about 8:00 a.m. to visit his mother and returned an hour later to find Claranett gone. Her blue 1986 Buick remained at the apartment with her purse, clothes, car keys, shoes and jewelry left inside.

A handgun Claranett normally kept in her purse had gone missing two weeks earlier. She worked as a pharmacy technician and was a mother of three; family members describe her as responsible and devoted. There have been unverified reports placing her in different parts of the country, but no substantial leads have been confirmed and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about Claranett’s whereabouts or who may have seen her in Lake Wales on or after May 14, 1993, is asked to come forward.
