In the late spring of 1987, a 43-year-old woman named Sandra Kay Runkle was residing in a program at a residential facility in the city of Niagara Falls, New York. On the evening of June 22nd, at approximately 7:00 PM, she was seen leaving the facility. Sandra was reported to have taken a cab to Prospect Point, a well-known location within Niagara Falls State Park that offers breathtaking views of the falls. At the time of her disappearance, Sandra was wearing dark blue pants, a red and white flowered shirt, and white sneakers. She was also known to carry a tan purse. Sandra was described as a Caucasian female with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighing between 170 and 185 pounds. She had several distinguishing physical features, including burn scars on her left elbow, as well as on her fingers and arms. Additionally, she had stretch marks on her torso. These details paint a picture of Sandra, a woman whose life took an unexpected turn on that June evening. Her case manager was the one to report that she had not returned, and since that taxi ride to the edge of the majestic falls, Sandra has not been seen or heard from again. The circumstances surrounding Sandra's disappearance remain shrouded in mystery. Her intended destination, Prospect Point, is a bustling area frequented by tourists from all over the world, yet no confirmed sightings of her at that location have ever been reported. The lack of witnesses is a particularly puzzling aspect of this case. Despite the passage of many years, the investigation into what happened to Sandra Runkle continues. Hers is a story without a final chapter, a lingering question in the hearts of those who knew her and the community she left behind. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish without a trace, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions and an enduring hope for resolution.
