Circumstances of Disappearance

On July 12, 1985, Brenda Rastegar, daughter of Verna Hollingsworth, came to her mother's residence and found it locked, but not deadbolted, and the air conditioning running. According to her daughter, Ms. Hollingsworth usually turned off the A/C and bolted the door when leaving her home. Verna's vehicle was in the driveway, but she was nowhere to be found. There were no signs of a struggle and most of her belongings were still inside her home.

Ms. Hollingsworth had recently visited her daughter in Texas, and then returned home to Arkansas. Verna also has a son, Terry Efurd, but he only met her briefly once when he was 11, and then she disappeared when he was 14. She is listed as deceased in the Social Security Death Index as of 1992.
