Almedia Carolyn Melcher was 43 when she vanished from Louisville, Kentucky, in the winter of 1964. The exact date is unknown but believed to be around the first of January. She had recently divorced Vernon Melcher, was attending nursing school, and had just begun to reconcile with her eldest daughter. The last known contact was a telephone call to that daughter announcing her engagement; she was not seen or heard from after that call.

A missing persons report was reportedly filed with Louisville police, but family members say a 1960s flood destroyed many records and Almedia’s case file may have been lost. A rumor that she left with a truck driver was never substantiated. An uncle who was a police officer thought he may have traced her to Florida but could not make contact. Her case is now entered in NamUs as MP87281.

Did anyone in Louisville or Florida remember Almedia or have information about her movements around that winter?
