Circumstances of Disappearance

Carla was last seen in her family's home in the public housing community on Airport Highway where she lived with her mother. On the evening of Carla's disappearance, she helped her mother wash dishes after dinner. Her mother went to bed, awoke about 04:30 a.m. and walked into the living room. The chairs were pushed away from the table, a soft drink bottle was turned over, and Carla's new tan sandals with a gold emblem were near the couch where she had taken them off the night before. The doors were left wide open. There was no trace of Carla.

A month earlier, a group of men had abducted Carla for about three hours. They took her to Lake Purdy and raped her. About a week before Carla's disappearance, the men came banging on her door but couldn't get in. No one has been charged in connection with her disappearance, but police suspect foul play.
