In the summer of 1985, a 29-year-old woman named Lorrene Debra Reynolds vanished from her home in Columbus, Georgia. Originally from California, Lorrene had moved to Georgia because of her husband's military career. She was last seen at her residence on Hilldale Drive on June 21, 1985. At the time of her disappearance, Lorrene was working as a sales consultant for Mary Kay cosmetics. She was known to frequent Al Who's Night Club in Columbus. Friends and family describe her as someone who took pride in her appearance. When she was last seen, she was wearing pearl stud earrings.
Months after she was reported missing, a significant piece of evidence in her case was discovered. Lorrene's 1979 silver and black Mazda RX7 was found abandoned in the parking lot of the Atlanta Marriott Hotel near Hartsfield Airport on February 1, 1986. Despite the location of her vehicle, investigators found no evidence that she had boarded a flight.
The discovery of her car so far from her home added a layer of mystery to her case, leaving investigators and her loved ones with more questions than answers. The circumstances surrounding how her car ended up at the airport and her own whereabouts from that point on remain unknown.
Decades have passed since Lorrene Reynolds was last seen, and her case has grown cold. The lack of significant leads over the years has been a source of ongoing pain for her family and friends. The Columbus Police Department and the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division continue to have her case open and are working together to find answers. In an effort to generate new information, the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division is offering a substantial reward for credible information that leads to her recovery or to the arrest of anyone responsible for her disappearance. Despite the passage of time, the investigation into what happened to Lorrene Reynolds continues, with law enforcement agencies and her loved ones holding out hope for a resolution to this long-standing mystery.Last Seen: Jun 21, 1985
