Circumstances of Disappearance

Verna Clayton was last seen in Dolan Springs, Arizona in 2008. Before disappearing, she had cashed out her financial assets.

While looking into the disappearance Nancy Hartz, police began investigating Robert Lawson Carnochan. A search of his home turned up evidence linking him to the disappearances of Nancy, Verna Clayton, and Neva Lindley. All three women had met Carnochan on online dating sites.

Nancy's remains were found in a remote desert area near Topock, just southeast of Needles, California, in May of 2019.

Carnochan died in prison in 2020 and is the main suspect in Verna and Neva's disappearances.
