Circumstances of Disappearance

Patricia Ruth Spahn, known as Stacy, was last seen on Sinsinawa Avenue leaving Schees Lounge in East Dubuque at approximately 2 a.m. with two men to go to a party. One of the men gave Patricia's girlfriend an address in order for Patricia to be picked up later. The address turned out not to exist. Both men were identified and refused to take polygraph tests.

A rumor surfaced that Patricia was buried under the Dubuque Inn Hotel swimming pool erected in 1975. The hotel was torn down in 2005, and the pool area was excavated down to five feet. No remains were found.
