Sonya Alice Langan:1982? 1983? Bullhead City, Arizona

Image
       Sonya Alice Langan was born on October 18th, 1964 in Los Angeles. A California birth listing says her Mother’s maiden name was Hirsch but does not provide more information than that.    You may see her name spelled Sonia Langan. She attended Kingman High School in Kingman, Arizona in 1979. She appears in that 1979 yearbook in the Freshman Class. Did you go to school with her? Did you know her?    Kingman is not far from Bullhead City. Both of those Arizona towns are south of Las Vegas, Nevada. Those towns are north of Lake Havasu City with its famous London Bridge. (An old stone bridge from London was being dismantled and a developer from the U.S. purchased it and installed it in Lake Havasu City as a publicity stunt for his new development.)     Sonya Langan disappeared sometime in 1982 or 1983 but her family did not report her missing because she had taken off for a while without informing them before th...

Kathy Lynn Gloddy:1971, Franklin, New Hampshire

    Kathy Lynn Gloddy was born on February 13th, 1958.    She lived in Franklin, New Hampshire. It’s a small town north of Concord, New Hampshire.    On Sunday, November 21st, 1971, Kathy Lynn Gloddy left home to make a trip to a convenience store. She purchased ice cream and potato sticks and walked toward the local high school in Franklin, New Hampshire. Maybe that was the local hangout for teens in Franklin. Thanksgiving was coming up on the 25th. Probably there was a feeling of the approaching Holidays in the air. Maybe a lot of teens and older young adults were hanging out there?   13 year old Kathy Lynn Gloddy did not make it home that day.       The following day, on Monday November 22nd, 1971 Kathy Lynn Gloddy was found off Webster Street. That is now called Chance Pond Road. There’s a local swimming hole in the area. But, in November it would have been an isolated area.    K...

Image
       Juanita Adams was born in 1959.  She was a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Juanita lived on the Reservation at Pineridge, South Dakota. She also went by her traditional name of Omani Wi.    Due to an injury, Juanita Adams had a prosthetic eye.   She became a mother as a teen. In 1978, her daughter was three. Juanita might have been thinking about the future. She was likely looking around at the world that her daughter would grow up into. Juanita decided to try to make the world a better place.    In the late 1970’s she had been inspired by the American Indian Movement to become an activist for Native American rights. She wanted to be a part of the A.I.M.’s Longest Walk in the Summer of 1978.    This group, the American Indian Movement, was trying to bring awareness to the long legacy of awful treatment of Native Americans. They had planned and publicized a walk across the United States.  ...

Deborah had an older brother and later a younger brother and sister.   Deborah was a graduate of Upper Dublin High School. She was working at FMC corporation and living in an apartment.      On Monday January 3rd, 1977, Deborah had borrowed her mother’s red Ford Pinto. She called her mother to let her know she was working overtime. She started off for home sometime after 11 p.m. that evening.     Early the next morning on January 4th, the red Pinto was found blocking the driveway of a local deli. The keys were in the vehicle. Why did Deborah park this car in such an odd place and seemingly vanish? It was in perfect working order. There was plenty of gasoline. There were no footprints suggesting that she had walked away. Did she get into another car?    On January 4th, 1977, D...
