Circumstances
Missing From: Country Club Plaza Loy Evitts vanished during her lunch hour February 28, 1977.

The car was back in its space later that afternoon, but Evitts was never seen again. She was a legal secretary at a law firm. Her purse was found 10 days later, under a bridge in southeast Kansas City near Unity Village. Evitts, a former Kansas State University queen nominee, was happily married living in Overland Park, Kan., and had no romantic or financial entanglement. The couple had no children.
