In the summer of 2006, a 36-year-old woman named Vicki Sue Lour vanished from the area of Piedmont and Greenville in Wayne County, Missouri. She was last seen on June 3, 2006, at her father's home in Piedmont. At the time of her disappearance, Vicki, a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, was about 5'4' tall and weighed around 160 pounds.
She was reportedly in the company of a man, identified as her boyfriend, Steven Huffman, and they were believed to be traveling to Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and possibly on to Arkansas. The vehicle they may have been in was described as a maroon or red Buick Century with Arkansas license plates.
Concerns for Vicki's welfare grew when her family was unable to make contact with her. When her father inquired about her whereabouts, Huffman allegedly claimed to have checked her into a drug rehabilitation facility in Poplar Bluff. However, he reportedly gave a slightly different account to another relative, stating he had dropped her off at the center for her to check herself in. Troubled by these inconsistencies and their inability to locate her, Vicki's family officially reported her missing to the Wayne County Sheriff's Department on July 13, 2006. An investigation was launched, but authorities could find no evidence that Vicki had ever been admitted to any rehabilitation center.
As the investigation unfolded, law enforcement found it difficult to locate Huffman initially, though he did resurface at a later time. Vicki's family expressed their belief that he was involved in her disappearance, describing him as a violent individual and fearing the worst. While authorities have considered Huffman a person of interest in the case, a lack of substantial evidence has made it difficult to proceed with any criminal charges. The case has grown cold over the years, leaving a family without answers and a community with a lingering sense of unease. The disappearance of Vicki Lour is an overview of the case, a summary of a life interrupted and a quest for truth that continues. Her case remains an unsolved and open investigation.Last Seen: Jun 3, 2006
