Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP61063) and 3 other sources
Janice Kay Carroll, a 33-year-old woman from Dallas, Texas, was last seen on July 18, 1975. According to her husband, they had a heated argument, after which he left their home. When he returned, Janice was gone, and she has not been heard from since. Her disappearance raised suspicions when, two years later, her car was found abandoned in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Waco, Texas, about 100 miles from her home. The vehicle, a 1973 model, had been parked there since October 1975, three months after she vanished. Despite the car being located, no evidence inside it offered clues to her whereabouts.

Janice, who had worked at the First National Bank of Dallas for ten years, was described as a responsible person, making her sudden disappearance highly uncharacteristic. She had several friends in Waco, but no one reported seeing her. Her case remains unsolved, with authorities continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
